Ten stories featuring the Chicago attorney-turned-sleuth from âthe grand dame of mystery mixed with screwball comedyâ (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 caseâas long as itâll pay his bar tab.
In this ten-story collection of murder most offbeat a wedding anniversary party turns deadly for an unlucky housewife, a clientâs 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 husbandâs skull, an old flameâs diary reveals a poisonous past, and a surprising obituary forces Malone to investigate his own suspicious death.
