Casebooks Dissembled


Book Description

In July of 1900, a down-on-his-luck Harry Reese is sent to Buffalo to investigate a suspicious fire. There he meets a very strange young woman and-hoping to use her dowry to pay his past-due rent-marries her. Thus begins a comic saga which will come to encompass a multiplicity of mystifying murders, a veritable horde of eccentric suspects, and a truly astounding number of canals. At long last, the first three novels and four short stories (including all three Emmie Reese Mysteries) are available in one economically priced volume. The books are presented in chronological order, so the reader might better experience the evolution of Harry's relationship with his curious wife Emmie, and his gradual absorption into the off-kilter world he terms Emmie-land. This eBook comprises: * Always a Cold Deck * Humbug on the Hudson * The Birth of M.E. Meegs * Crossings * Hidden Booty * Kalorama Shakedown * Psi no more… Plus, a list of characters and a glossary of period language.
