Harry’s back! That’s right, Harry Monday, that Sam Spade wannabe in the trench coat and gumshoes, is hot and on
his latest case. Does he know what he’s doing? Who knows? Is he over his head? Of course. Especially when he finds
three characters murdered at the Restful Glen Psychiatric Annex. Only after he arrives does he find out that all the
inmates have multiple personalities. And the three murdered victims are all the same guy!
Who killed Jeffrey Statlander? Was it the ex-congressman who, in a crisis, becomes Edgar Allan Poe? Or maybe it
was the schoolteacher who runs hot and cold? Or what about the mailman who has more personalities than he ever had
on his route? “Clues are falling like cigarettes in the boys’ bathroom,” he says as he soon finds himself committed –
and not just to the case.
This wisecracking whodunit will have you guessing until the final red herring – or perhaps until Harry’s goose – is
cooked.
