A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

When Decimus Fortesque, the millionaire collector of wives and rare manuscripts, hires Archy McNally to locate the Holy Grail of missing tomes—the complete text of Truman Capote's Answered Prayers—Palm Beach's premier P.I. uncovers nothing but scandal.

Luscious Claudia Lester claims to have had the manuscript but declares that her lover, Matthew Harrigan, ran off with it; a lover scorned, Harrigan says Claudia is lying. And Rodney Whitehead, a shady antiques dealer, maintains that neither Claudia nor Harrigan is to be believed. When the supposed owner of the manuscript is found dead in a sleazy motel, the investigating officer, Georgia O'Hara, suspects Archy knows more than he's willing to admit about the murder, the manuscript, and its ardent pursuers composed of ne'er-do-wells and flimflam artists.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Claudia Lester is a blonde with a problem: she needs someone to give a blackmailer fifty thousand dollars. But when Archy wakes up with a bump on his head both Claudia and the money have disappeared.
The other person who wants to find Claudia is Decimus Fortesque, an eccentric Palm Beach character known for his even more eccentric collecting habits. The fifty thousand dollars turned out to be his - and he thinks that Claudia may be in possession of both his money and a long-lost work by

Truman Capote.
When Fortesque offers to hire him to find Claudia, Archy can't resist - and falls over the first corpse in the case.
