Synopsis

The second book in the new Paladino and Lang mystery series from the author of the Deets Shanahan mysteries - Sweet William, a professional companion to the wealthy, needs help. A famous, but not beloved, novelist is found dead, and William is the prime suspect. His only recourse is for the real murderer to be found. Working from an impressive list of suspects, all whose secrets were to be revealed in the victim's unpublished tell-all memoir, Carly Paladino and Noah Lang stir up serious trouble on their hunt for the missing manuscript - and the murderer.

About this title

Review:

"* "Tierney, author of the Deets Shanahan series, has a winner here" Library Journal on Death in Pacific Heights "Crisp, snappy dialogue; succinct but witty prose; and enough clever humor to keep even the dourest mystery buff laughing out loud. A fine series that deserves more kudos" Booklist on Asphalt Moon "A plot chockablock with unexpected twists, a succinct writing style reminiscent of Robert B. Parker, unusual characters, and deadpan humor add up to a top-notch read" Booklist on Glass Chameleon"
