Beschreibung
Ten stories featuring the Chicago attorney-turned-sleuth from ';the grand dame of mystery mixed with screwball comedy' (Ed Gorman). From suburban cocktail parties to music halls to the precarious ledge of a high-rise, Chicago attorney John J. Malone is willing to take on any caseas long as it'll pay his bar tab. In this ten-story collection of murder most offbeat, a wedding anniversary party turns deadly for an unlucky housewife; a client's supposed innocence hangs by a thread after a suicide attempt; a forlorn ballad may contain the key to a mystery; a relatively harmless lady wrestler gets pinned for cracking her husband's skull; an old flame's diary reveals a poisonous past; and a surprising obituary forces Malone to investigate his own suspicious death. The hero of fourteen novels, more than three-dozen short stories, three feature films, a radio show, and a television series, ';Malone is an inspired creation...[of] deductive brilliance, malaprop speech, diminutive stature, rumpled appearance, fiscal imprudence, and Irish romanticism...closer in spirit to John Mortimer's Rumpole of the Bailey than to his contemporary Erle Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason, whose clients are always innocent' (Jon L. Breen, Edgar Awardwinning author).
