Mike Shayne leaps into danger after a fugitive collapses on his secretary's floor Before she met Mike Shayne, Lucy Hamilton was just another young woman living in New Orleans. She shared an apartment with her best friend, Arlene, a vivacious young thing with a thousand gentleman callers, but none were as debonair as Arlene's brother, Jack Bristow. Since she started working for Shayne, Lucy hasn't had any time for beaus, and she hasn't thought of Bristow in years--not until the day he shows up on her Miami doorstep begging for help. He collapses, blood seeping from a wound in his chest, and Lucy helps him to the bedroom, knowing that he's minutes from death. The police are chasing Bristow for a murder Lucy's sure he didn't commit, and by the time Shayne gets the cops off their backs, Bristow has escaped through a window. Shayne must track down the bleeding man in order to learn what really happened--for both the sake of an old friend and the sake of justice. Death Has Three Lives is the 25th book in the Mike Shayne Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Death Has Three Lives is a great mystery featuring Lucy Hamilton with Mike Shayne playing a supporting role. Someone from Lucy's past in New Orleans shows up, she deceived the police, and goes off detecting on her own. In the midst of it all, bodies keep dropping like leaves from a tree. This book has the hellfire nonstop excitement of the early Shayne mysteries, all written by the first Brett Halliday, Davis Dresser. There is nonstop excitement from start to finish and enough twists and turns, car crashes, stabbings, shootings, and bombings to keep anyone interested . ( )
