Abbey of The Damned: Complete Cases Mike and Trixie, Volume 3: 172

Return to the razor¿edged world of Mike Harris and Trixie Meehan in Abbey of the Damned: The Complete Cases of Mike & Trixie, Volume 3 by T.T. Flynn. The Blaine Agency's sharpest-and maddest-pair tackle three savage, atmospheric puzzles that push their partnership to the limits: the sinister secrets behind Barred Doors, the explosive stakes of Nitro! Nitro!, and the crooked paper trail of The Letters and the Law.Flynn's prose is lean, his plotting relentless, and his banter between Mike and Trixie crackles with hard¿boiled charm-the very pattern that helped define the male/female partner detective in the pulps. These long¿lost gems collect Flynn at the height of his craft: vivid set pieces, merciless twists, and detectives who win by grit, guile, and an unwillingness to let one another get the last word. Fans of classic pulp, noir, and fast, character¿first mysteries will savor this volume-three cases, three nights of white¿knuckle reading, one unforgettable team.
