A Good Year for MurderAcademy Chicago Publishers, 1988 - 178 pagine It is 1940 and all the British Empire is at war, including the industrial city of Fort York, Canada. A distraction occurs when Junior Alderman Gertrude Valentini receives a Valentine's Day gift of a dead chicken with an arrow through its heart. Although she is not amused, the incident is considered a harmless practical joke until holidays in successive moths bring more serious 'pranks' -- such as murder. It is Albert V. Tretheway, an oversized, formidable Inspector in the Fort York Police Department, to the rescue in a raucous climax on New Year's Eve where the entire cast of bizarre, hilarious characters is assembled. |
