I Know a Trick Worth Two of That

Description

Sam Holt spent years playing Packard, everyone’s favorite TV-detective; he’s got no desire to play sleuth in real life. But when a long-lost pal calls with a rant about conspiracies, sinister cargo ships and hit men – and then gets poisoned at a party full of Holt’s closest friends – there doesn’t seem to be a lot of choice. Sure, Holt could leave it to the cops and cross his fingers. But Packard would never have taken such a weenie’s way out. And Holt, to his astonishment, finds that he can’t take it, either. In a field where amateur detectives are a dime a dozen, here’s one worth at least a buck – New York Times A smashing adventure with swift, tense developments that will surprise even the keenest whodunit fan – Publishers Weekly Fans of Lawrence Block’s Burglar series and, well, Donald Westlake
