- Synopsis
- A British PI novel from the Diamond Dagger Award–winning author: &“Entertaining, sly, jokey . . . cynical, well written, and teems with sparkly dialogue&” (The Times, London). British private investigator Joe Sixsmith needs some help to resolve a dispute with his insurance company, so he turns to Luton, England&’s most prominent law firm. But he winds up storming out, infuriated at the rude treatment he receives—which presents a problem once the firm&’s partners start getting murdered soon afterward. And as he tries to fend off the police who suspect him, he&’s still got his own cases to juggle, including a plot against a female track star who may have to run for her life . . . &“Among mysterydom&’s most unique and eccentric characters. Joe is a redundant British lathe operator, black, balding, decidedly middle-aged, and ever at the mercy of his curmudgeonly aunt Mirabelle and his nearly human cat, Whitey. . . . A blend of Chaplin and Clouseau, Joe Sixsmith is endearingly funny, but he also has an unerring knack for discovering some of life&’s most serious truths in the midst of his bumbling misadventures.&” —Booklist &“Joe is . . . an unpredictable, entertaining fellow.&” —Publishers Weekly
