About This Book

"Surely, under whatever pseudonym, Mrs. Taylor is the mystery equivalent of Buster Keaton." ―Dilys Winn

It has been a hard day for Leonidas Witherall. Someone had set him up to be mistaken for a burglar, and the police are now hot on his heels. Hoping for help from his former employer, Marcus Meredith, he arrives to find Marcus' body on the floor, his head bashed in by a loving cup. What is odd is that the corpse's left leg is missing. What is odder is that Leonidas' own rubbers are beside the victim. How he gets out of this jam is a tale that is both hilarious and hair-raising―never predictable for a second. Just as any Witherall fan might expect.
