Beschreibung
The Dean returns-smarter, slipperier, and twice as charming.
Parttime detective and consummate con man Dean Wardlow Rock makes his living as a faux fortune teller-his business card boldly promising pedomancy: "Fortunes Devined from the Soles of Your Feet." The fortuneteller act is a sales trick; the eccentric, archaicworddropping "living encyclopedia" is a mask. Underneath it all is a man who reads people as easily as he reads soles, using guile, showmanship, and a keen reporter's instinct to unmask thieves, blackmailers, jilted lovers-and killers.
In The Complete Cases of The Dean, Volume 2, Merle Constiner's slyest sleuth returns in another set of twisty, hardboiled yarns from the pages of Dime Detective. These stories pair pulpera snap with crafty conman brilliance: clever plots, sharp dialogue, and the kind of cunning that only a professional trickster can bring to justice.
He'll tell your fortune. He'll solve your murder. Just don't believe everything he says.
