Malone is willing to take on any case—as long as it’ll pay his bar tab.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In this ten-story collection of murder most offbeat, a wedding anniversary party turns deadly for an unlucky housewife; a client’s 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 husband’s skull; an old flame’s diary reveals a poisonous past; and a surprising obituary forces Malone to investigate his own suspicious death.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The hero of fourteen novels, more than three-dozen short stories, three feature films, a radio show, and a television series, “Malone is an inspired creation . . . [of] deductive brilliance, malaprop speech, diminutive stature, rumpled appearance, fiscal imprudence, and Irish romanticism . . . closer in spirit to John Mortimer’s Rumpole of the Bailey than to his contemporary Erle Stanley Gardner’s Perry Mason, whose clients are always innocent” (Jon L. Breen, Edgar Award–winning author).","brand":"MysteriousPress.com\/Open Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136997867760,"sku":"9781504048507","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781504048507_p0.jpg?v=1763711728","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781504048507","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
