The Pink Pony: A Burr Lafayette Mystery [signed]

The Port Huron-Mackinac sailboat race has just finished at Mackinac Island, and the racers head for the nearest bar, the legendary Pink Pony. This night, however, takes on a grisly turn and the next morning, one of the skippers, Jimmy Lyons is found in the bar, strangled to death by a string of Christmas tree lights. Burr Lafayette celebrated at The Pink Pony the night of the murder and takes on the case, largely because he needs the money. Late forties, recently divorced and a part-time father, he is a man at loose ends. The deposed head of the litigation department of a major Detroit law firm, he much prefers boats and fishing, dogs and duck hunting, women and wine. Nonetheless, he is a brilliant, if reluctant, litigator. Burr sets out on a journey filled with unsavory characters and legal setbacks. Burr, though, is at his best in court. A legal twist almost costs him the case, but he finally untangles the characters and their secrets, and, in a thrilling and shocking climax, unmasks the murderer. The Pink Pony is Anatomy of a Murder and The Thin Man rolled into one. A legal thriller with larger than life characters and a plot that will keep you guessing to the last sentence. Once you pick up The Pink Pony, you won t be able to put it down.
