A drowned man.
This is the Clear Print Edition of Red Herrings Can\'t Swim, with a 14pt font size for easier reading..
In the real world, he\'s flummoxed by vandals, threats to his life, wildly raucous suspects and a homicide detective happy to pin killings on him.
From beyond the grave, victims are begging Blake to solve their murders.
And thanks to his over-eager secretary, he\'s been dumped in the midst of murder most foul.
He\'s an aging throwback to a bygone era of detecting on the mean streets; a dinosaur of a private eye who never got the memo that he was extinct.
Nod Blake, the wise-cracking private eye, is back. murder. . . murder. . .
And murder.
A sinister circus.
