Archy McNally Series Volume One

Edgar Award–Winning Author

Privileged bachelor Archy McNally enjoys sipping late-night port with his girlfriend of the moment and tooling around South Florida in his red Miata sports car. Only occasionally does he get around to doing actual work as a part-time investigator for his father''s law firm. In these three witty novels, he''s paid to make discreet inquiries for Palm Beach''s elite—who are rarely what they seem.

McNally''s Secret

When Lady Cynthia Horowitz''s priceless 1918 US airmail stamps go missing from her plantation-style mansion, McNally unearths a shocking secret that could expose his own family''s skeletons. His search thrusts him into a thickening maze of sex, scandal, blackmail, and murder.

McNally''s Luck

McNally''s latest assignment is a simple catnapping. But, as McNally knows, things are rarely as simple as they seem. Soon, the case of the missing foul-tempered, overweight Persian morphs into the murder of a prominent Palm Beach woman. And when McNally uncovers a chilling connection between the two cases, he''s plunged into a psychological game of cat and mouse.

McNally''s Risk

Checking out the background of a wealthy client''s prospective daughter-in-law should be easy—but when the people around Theodosia Johnson start being killed off, McNally must expose the murderer. Theodosia herself is the biggest mystery though. And as she sets out to seduce McNally, he''ll have to orchestrate his own scam to uncover the truth.
