Lawrence Sanders Mcnally's Bluff

Though considered a somewhat dubious character, self-styled impresario and former human cannonball Matthew Hayes sets the South Florida smart set atwitter when he creates a grand garden hedge maze modeled after the one at Hampton Court. But the gala opening goes bust when Hayes's ladylove, Marlena Marvel, in the role of Venus, is discovered at the center of the maze, very dead indeed. The authorities are stumped, as Hayes's carnival background gives rise to a number of possible suspects-and the huge crowd at the unveiling included its fair share of questionable characters. It's up to Archy McNally to see through the scam and catch a killer.Lardo, Vincent is the author of 'Lawrence Sanders Mcnally's Bluff ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780425204375 and ISBN 0425204375.
