The Hanged Man Affair

Angebote / Angebote:

It's the summer of 1921, and Woodie Garth and the Mallory family are enjoying a day out on Malibu Beach when the telegram arrives. A former colleague from Woodie's Secret Service days is requesting that the MG&M, detectives come to Texas to help solve an old case. Thirty-three years prior, there was a bloody shootout at a remote stagecoach stop. Three men were left dead, and fifteen-year-old Tommy Humphrey escaped with his life, but was suspected all along of having been the killer. Now the lone survivor has been brought into custody and he has an unbelievable story. Humphrey tells the tale of a stagecoach breakdown, a poker game at the depot, and a ruthless stranger who gunned down the other three men before vanishing in a cloud of dust. The thing is, Garth's colleague, now a county sheriff in Midland, Texas, tends to believe in Tom Humphrey's innocence. But he needs MG&M, to investigate and dig out the facts. If Humphrey is to be believed, the ruthless killer was once hanged from a tree outside the old stage depot, and now the hanged man has come back for revenge. Praise for Rick Adelmann's MG&M, Detective Agency series: "Spellbinder! A great first book. I can't wait for the next one. Great surprise ending!" - 5 stars online review "Sherwood Garth and James Mallory seem like an unlikely partnership in sleuthing, but their skills and experience provide a unique combination in the fine art of solving murders. Garth is reminiscent of our old friend, Sherlock Holmes, while Mallory, the retired cavalry officer, embodies the spirit of the old West. Rick Adelmann's debut novel takes you into a world where automobiles are replacing horse drawn buggies and the Jazz Age is coming into its own. Set against the rich backdrop of turn-of-the century Americana, The Greek Coins Affair is sure to please." -Mysticmoods book review "What a fun read! I really enjoyed the premise and following the detectives as they solved the murders. I will definitely be following this series."-SG, 5 stars "I've really gotten to know and like the three main characters. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery and fun time reading." -NRW, 5 stars online "Sizzles with Jazz Age mystery and intrigue" -J Shaw, online review "Mallory and Garth are destined to become icons in the jazz age, historical mystery genre. They are private investigators with flair!" -Connie Shelton, USA Today bestselling author
