The Mouse in the Mountain

Doan, a short pudgy private eye with a fondness for booze and blonde, heads to Mexico to talk a fugitive into not returning home to face justice, accompanied by Carstairs, a Great Dane so huge he ought to be considered an entirely new species. First published in 1943, it was the first novel from a writer whose attempts at hardboiled fiction always ended up running amok--to the delight of readers. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
