His case has so many beautiful dames in it you need a score card. One of them has a dead body in her room, so she calls on Mike to help get rid of it. As you might guess from the title, that job is harder than you might expect. And you’ll never guess where the body ends up. When asked to help, Mike’s friend explains his reluctance, “Because I know you, damn it. Because I can put two and two together and it always comes out four where Mike Shayne is concerned. There’s this dame who blows into town and has a run-in with a dead man. There’s you who could have said no and turned your back and walked out of her bedroom…but didn’t. That’s two and two…see? And it adds up to a corpse floating around town in a stolen car. Right?” ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A call from a killer sends Mike Shayne hurtling toward the brink A woman sits in the Encanto Hotel on Biscayne Bay, rationing a bottle of scotch and waiting for a call that could change her life. She clutches a marriage announcement that has chilled her to the core. At last, there is a knock at the door, but it isn't the person she was expecting. Instead she is greeted by a man she thought dead, a man who tortured her for far too long. She offers him a drink and then presses a pistol to his chest and pulls the trigger until the clip is empty and her tormenter is dead. In a state of panic, she calls the only man who can help--Miami's toughest private detective, Mike Shayne--and lies. She says her name is Carla, that the dead man is her husband, and that it was her daughter, Vicky, who pulled the trigger. She may think she knows how to play the game, but she'll soon find that Shayne is a dangerous man to toy with--and he doesn't stay fooled for long. The Body Came Back is the 46th book in the Mike Shayne Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
