Description
Kirkus praised: "Clever thinking and judicious bribery produce results as Lindsey follows the path of the missing laptop... He won't give up until he finds what he needs to close his case and catch a killer." And from Publishers Weekly: "Lupoff's eighth and possibly final mystery featuring insurance investigator Hobart Lindsey and Berkeley, Calif., homicide detective Marvia Plum (after 1997's The Radio Red Killer)... Lindsey's old boss from the Special Projects Unit of International Surety calls him out of retirement to deal with a plagiarism case. The widow of murdered crime writer Gordon Simmons claims that a hard-boiled novel, The Emerald Cat, by an unknown author is a thinly disguised version of an unpublished manuscript that had been on Simmons's PC -- and that whoever stole it is also responsible for his death... [Lupoff's] glimpses into the sordid side of book publishing ring true."
