The Boy Who Never Grew Up

Bol

A Hollywood ghostwriter and his basset hound explore the deadly world of high-stakes divorce in this hilarious mystery from an Edgar Award-winning author. Matthew Wax is an overgrown kid with a taste for sweets, go-kart racing, and wholesome family comedy. He's also the most successful director in Hollywood, a golden boy whose films are toothache sweet and spit-shine clean. But when his wife, leading lady Pennyroyal Brim, tires of life in a G-rated wonderland, she brings in the most ruthless lawyer on the West Coast: the notorious Abel Zorch. To win the divorce settlement, Zorch drags Wax through the mud, accusing him of perversion, misogyny, and abuse. So when Pennyroyal announces a tell-all memoir, Wax has only one choice: to call in Stewart "Hoagy" Hoag, ghostwriter to the stars. Working with Wax, Hoagy and his basset hound, Lulu, get closer to the boy wonder than anyone else ever has. But when Zorch turns up dead, Wax is the prime suspect--followed closely by every spurned husband in Beverly Hills--and to clear their client's name, the amateur sleuth and his canine companion will have to leave La-La Land behind and cross over to the dark side of Los Angeles. From Edgar Award-winning author David Handler, The Boy Who Never Grew Up is a razor-sharp entry in the beloved Stewart Hoag Mysteries, called an "all-time favorite series" by Harlan Coben. The funniest sleuth around, Hoagy knows that quick wit can overcome any obstacle--even murder. This edition includes AJ Finn's introductory essay, "It's Time to Discover Your New Sophisticated Sleuth Obsession: Stewart Hoag."
