And which one is about to be arrested for murder? The two men are arch enemies, and will go to great lengths to ace each other out. But would they stoop to murder?Someone is littering the town with sudoku, crossword puzzles, and dead private eyes.It's up to Cora, with the help of her niece, Sherry, to solve the puzzle, the sudoku, and the murder, before the killer strikes again.Parnell Hall delivers another entertaining, puzzle-packed adventure with his delightfully untraditional sleuth.
