A Collection of Sprinkles

Henry J Sprinkle is back and ready to take on the kookiest criminals western New York has to offer. In this collection of 4 stories (including the classic opener: Sprinkle Takes the Cake) your favorite blind coroner/amateur sleuth employs his unique blend of manners and madcap antics to track down the monsters his flatfoot pals can’t seem to nab. A spate of suspicious nursing home geezer deaths? Sprinkle can handle it, sling a few zingers in his 1940’s slang, and maybe even romance a fellow hepcat named Spread while he’s at it. A brilliant woman is convincing others to commit homicide for her? Sprinkle and Dye are there, ready to unravel the mystery—but they’ll have to avoid the puppet strings if they want to finger the deft dame. A madman claims he did the crime because ‘my author made me do it’, sending Sprinkle’s brains into overdrive and his heart into panic mode. Could they all really be nothing more than characters in a short story? Only his trusty and vigorously sane partner June Dye can help him unravel this conundrum. READING TIP: These stories are best enjoyed with a bowl of candy corn at your side, with Sinatra going to town in the background.
