"""Christie-like . . . A superb retro noir that summons another unlikely brownstone duo, Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin."" --Booklist Praise for the Pentecost & Parker Mysteries “Razor-sharp style, tons of flair, a snappy sense of humor, and all the most satisfying elements of a really good noir novel.” —Tana French, New York Times bestselling author of The Searcher “A delight . . . it’s a pleasure to watch [Pentecost and Parker] sifting through red herrings and peeling secrets back like layers of an onion. . . Just like his mystery-writing ancestor [Rex Stout], Spotswood understands that the detective story should be sound, but spending time with unforgettable characters is paramount.” —New York Times Book Review   “Slick and exciting . . . a constant delight.” –The Minneapolis Star Tribune   “My new favorite sleuthing duo are Pentecost and Parker, the spiritual sisters of Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin . . . Utterly brilliant!” –Deanna Raybourn, New York Times bestselling author of Killers of a Certain Age “Stephen Spotswood hard-boils with the best of ‘em!”  –Alan Bradley, bestselling author of the Flavia de Luce Mystery Series"
