[The Harry Reese Mysteries 05] • Fair Play’s a Jewel

On a hot July morning **in the summer of 1903**, insurance investigator Harry Reese learns his secretive wife Emmie is planning a trip to Portland, Maine. Could she be heading for an assignation with the mysterious stranger who recently called for her at the apartment? Or is she leading Harry into yet another befuddling murder mystery, peopled by a perfect plethora of peculiar characters, and with herself acting as befuddler-in-chief?

Before this case is solved, our heroes will have acquired a knowledge of 17th-century cant, cockney rhyming slang, and the mating habits of the American eel; confronted a snooping Pinkerton of fictional origin; come to terms with a publishing pirate; and waded through a veritable ocean of false identities.
