The Man Who Couldn''t Miss: A Stewart Hoag Mystery

English

By (author): David Handler

Finalist for the Nero Award!

He's one of my very favorites: a novelist whose champagne-fizzy mysteriesas winning as the madcap adventures of Carl Hiaasen, as hilarious as Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum seriestickle the brain, heart, and funny bone in equal measure. A.J. Finn, New York Times bestselling author of Woman in the Window

In the next novel in David Handlers Edgar award-winning series, Stewart Hoagy Hoag and his beloved basset hound, Lulu, investigate a murder in a fabled Connecticut summer playhouse.

Hollywood ghostwriter Stewart Hoagy Hoag has chronicled the rise, fall, and triumphant return of many a celebrity. At last hes enjoying his own, very welcome second act. After hitting a creative slump following the success of his debut novel, Hoagy has found inspiration again. Ensconced with his faithful but cowardly basset hound, Lulu, on a Connecticut farm belonging to his ex-wife, Oscar-winning actress Merilee Nash, hes busy working on a new novel. Hes even holding out hope that he and Merilee might get together again. Life is simple and fulfillingwhich of course means its time for complications to set in.

When the police call to ask if he knows the whereabouts of a man named R.J. Romero, Hoagy learns of a dark secret from his ex-wifes past. Its already a stressful time for Merilee, whos directing a gala benefit production of Private Lives to rescue the famed but dilapidated Sherbourne Playhouse, where the likes of Katherine Hepburn, Marlon Brando and Merilee herself made their professional stage debuts. Her reputation, as well as the playhouses future, is at stake. The cast features three of Merilees equally famous Oscar-winning classmates from the Yale School of Drama. But it turns out that theres more linking them to each otherand to their fellow Yale alum, R.J.than their alma mater. When one of the cast is found murdered, it will take Hoagys sleuthing skills and Lulus infallible nose to sniff out the truthbefore someone else faces the final curtain call.
