Missing Woman: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Haven't read it, but here's the back cover--
Review: Beset with prospects of insolvency and eviction, private investigator Albert Samson is hired by a plump, dowdy woman to locate her vanished college chum, and is inexplicably fired---until the missing woman's art-dealer lover turns up--dead. Then, of course, Samson finds himself back in business.

Picking his way through a maze of intrigues, lures, and lies, barely surviving the aggravation of the hostile police, confronted within an hour by two murderers, narrowly escaping death by scissors, Samson wonders if it isn't time for him to hand up his gumshoes and learn an honest trade.

Through sheer wit and guts, Samson comes out on top by getting to the bottom of the most tatnatlizng and entertaining puzzle yet devised by Michael Z. Lewin.

Hope this helped. I hate it when I want to find out more about a book and Amazon doesn't have a thing.
