A Missing Manuscript and Murder by P. C. James
A simple puzzle turned deadly. With scandal and folks with something to hide, can this retired inspector close the book on homicide?
North Yorkshire, 1966. Tom Ramsay can’t seem to escape mysteries. Reluctantly taking on a straightforward case to appease his assistant, the former investigator suddenly finds himself caught up in two capers when a literary agent begs for his help. But when tampering becomes theft, the frustrated man can’t walk away when a best-selling author turns up dead.
Attempting to stay out of a police matter, the diligent sleuth soon realizes he can’t pretend the two incidents aren’t connected. And as each page he flips reveals more of the area’s dark underbelly, he scrambles to unearth a decades’ old coverup.
Can Ramsay sort through suspects, stories, and lies to ferret out the truth?
A Missing Manuscript and Murder is the enthralling fourth book in the One Man and His Dog Cozy Mysteries series. If you like quietly tenacious protagonists, transporting back to a simpler time, and splashes of humor, then you’ll love P.C. James’s charming conundrum.
