The Fabulous Clipjoint

Fredric Brown

£10.99

In 1940s Chicago, a man is killed in the midst of a night-long bender, caught between barrooms in what appears to be a mugging gone awry. The police aren't interested in finding Wallace's murderer, but his teenage son, Ed, thinks there's more to this than meets the eye. The witnesses aren't telling the whole story, and in the process of finding the killer, Ed makes another discovery: Wallace was a very different man to the father he thought he knew.
