Synopsis

Chip Harrison has finally secured himself a job, acting as the man-about-town for the corpulent detective Leo Haig. And it's on the dangerous streets of New York that Chip brings home his first case, one in which five beautiful sisters are being systematically murdered by a killer with a diabolical design. Three of the Trelawney women have already been bumped off, and now Chip is cozying up to the remaining two, and investigating a couple of other nefarious relatives with motive on their minds. The solution is a tantalizing brainteaser that only Edgar Award–winning Lawrence Block could have written.

Goodreads review by Viva

Spoilers ahead. The first two Chip Harrison books were pretty much softcore porn and detailed his life experiences after he got kicked out of private high school because his (swindler) parents had passed and left him no money. He first made his way to Chicago and then gradually to S. Carolina where h......more

Quotes

“Gorton shines as the short, round, and eccentric Leo, using thoughtful deliberation to portray his unique blend of humility, pomposity, and intelligence…His reading does justice to this cleverly plotted story.” Library Journal
