The Case of the Wrong Word: A Short Story Collection of Murder and Mystery - Couverture souple
Livre 3 sur 3: The High Society Detective Series
Synopsis
The Case of the Wrong Word (Book 3 in The High Society Detective Series) is a gripping 1970s murder mystery short story set against the glamorous backdrop of high-society Manhattan.
Year: 1979.
Location: A lavish New York City wedding.
The cast: A fading Broadway star and her wealthy husband. A young set designer and her mysterious date. A sharp-witted NYPD detective with a reputation for solving the impossible.
What links them together?
Perhaps nothing.
Or perhaps... everything.
When the wealthy husband is found dead on his Park Avenue living room floor the very next morning, the elegant stage actress wastes no time calling on Detective Nick Tracy, rumored to be New York's top investigator, to crack the case. With a supposed eyewitness and a detailed suspect description, this should be an open-and-shut case.
But nothing is ever simple in this world of secrets, lies, and polished façades.
The Case of the Wrong Word is part of a whodunit short story collection filled with clever twists, locked-room murders, literary clues, and classic detective work. Fans of Agatha Christie, vintage noir, and Sherlock Holmes-style investigations will love following Nick Tracy through:
- A brilliant plan gone tragically wrong
- A murder that defies explanation
- The baffling death of a famous author in a locked room
- A chilling plot that would make Edgar Allan Poe proud
Perfect for fans of classic murder mysteries, retro crime fiction, and intelligent suspense, this series brings a modern polish to a nostalgic genre.
