Publisher's Summary:

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 declares that her lover, Matthew Harrigan, ran off with it. Harrigan says Claudia is lying. When the supposed owner of the manuscript meets with misadventure in a sleazy motel, and Archy awakens in his Miata with a baseball-sized bump on the head, there is no end to the finger-pointing.

To add to Archy's woes, his favorite gal, Connie Garcia, is being courted by the dashing Alejandro Gomez y Zapata, who has vowed to liberate Cuba from Castro and Connie from Archie. But fear not, for should Archy lose Connie, there just might be a fair-haired lass ready to fill the void; so what if she is packing heat? Romance might have to take a backseat until Archy can sort out who's who among this felonious band of ne're-do-wells and flimflam artists.

Good writing ruined by Kindle typos, BEWARE

I just trashed "The Big Sleep" in a review, and I am about to do the same here, for the same reasons. The editing in the Kindle editions of books I pay decent money for, is atrocious. I wouldn't send out an E mail looking as bad as the typos are in this in particular book, and this series in general. It would be one thing if this was a .99 special, but it's not. I love these stories and look forward to my reading time, only to be jarred out of a rhythm each time I hit a cinder block of a typo. Please, I'm begging you to fix this. I am getting nostalgic for real books again. Sigh.

Whipped Cream Fluff for an Easy Fun Read

I like all of this series by Lawrence Sanders. These Archy McNally detective stories are all set in Palm Beach with high society characters involved in all sorts of underhanded activities. The players all become like old friends after reading a few of these books. The plots are simple and the situations and people are humorous. It is light easy reading after tackling other more complex stories, a spot of relief and light-hearted fun. The seller was fast and responsive and the book was in excellent condition on arrival.

Not the best

The Grand old Sting has too many players and that makes the story line a bit muddled. Not as enjoyable as most of the McNally books.

Fantastic fun.

Few writers are as insightful about how an inquisitive mind works while managing to entertain and amuse you. Too bad he's gone.

Archie has done it again!!!!

Archie McNally is the man!!!!! Archie once again proves that discrete inquiries is a valuable commodity in the fight against crime.
