‘Tantalising on every page and brilliant’ Scott Turow, bestseller author of Presumed Innocent and Testimony

‘Kingpin among the mystery writers’ New York Times

‘According to the letter of this contract,’ Mason mused, ‘if Dianne Alder should marry a millionaire and her husband should die, the party of the first part would be entitled to fifty percent.’ Suddenly Mason snapped his fingers.

‘You’ve got it?’ Della Street asked.

‘I have an explanation. I don’t know whether it’s the explanation, but it’s quite an explanation’.

No one has ever matched Gardner for swift, sure exposition

For fans of classic hard-boiled whodunits, this is a time machine back to an exuberant era of snappy patter, stakeouts, and double-crosses
