Stanley's back!
And he's working for a Hitman. Yes, you read it right. Only a private eye with Stanley's tortured logic could come up with a reason to justify working for a man who kills people. Of course, the pay is good.
“Hitman” is the kind of pithy, clever, modestly erudite mystery that was once a genre staple. It’s nice to know somebody still has the knack. - New York Times (Sept 23, 2007)
Praise for the Stanley Hastings mystery series
"What Mr. Hall does to the private eye formula is very funny, but it is not frivolous. His puzzles, for all their manic nonsense, are fiendish constructions of sound logic." - New York Times
"Like Agatha Christie ... Hall knows how to plant clues and red herrings. Only he's a lot funnier." - Denver Post & Rocky Mountain News
"First-class fun from start to finish." - Booklist
