They are crossing the street when a station wagon comes charging around the curb, crashing into man and beast. Both are killed. The dog might have been innocent, but the man had it coming. It only takes a day for the district attorney to accuse the dead man’s wife of the crime. Deirdre Charteris, a former starlet who has lost none of her looks, had every reason to want her husband dead: He was psychotic, violent, and refused to agree to a divorce. But Dee swears her innocence, and Howie Rook believes her. A retired newspaperman with a detective’s sixth sense, he will do whatever he can to prove her innocence. But he will find that asking questions can be just as dangerous as going for a walk in the dark. \u003ci\u003eRook Takes Knight \u003c\/i\u003eis part of the Howie Rook Mysteries series, which also includes \u003ci\u003eUnhappy Hooligan\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"MysteriousPress.com\/Open Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130115440880,"sku":"9781480418950","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781480418950_p0.jpg?v=1763619586","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781480418950","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
