    About this ebook

    Cotton Moon has his hands full in the case of the Holiday Homicide. He gets mixed up in a murder investigation on New Year's Morning because of (1) a rare tropical nut and (2) a large fee he is sure to collect. At his side is Bert Stanley, an assistant who was hired because he was once a bartender who could take dictation and type -- and swing the stiffs out of a waterfront bar at closing time. With a line-up of suspects and a fast-moving plot sure to please every reader, here is one investigation no mystery fan can afford to miss!


    "A spot-on spoof of Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin." -- Kevin Burton Smith, thrillingdetective.com

      We sat in front of a blazing fire in the hearth of the tiny hunting cabin. The chimney drew well as long as the door was kept slightly open, like Lem Putt advised, to get the draft just right. We were sipping a most wonderfully aged 56-year-old Caber
