So when he gets a message that his old drinking buddy, Harry Loomis, is back in town with a present for him, he figures it's just another gag gift. But the next morning, Harry is found dead, there's no gift, and the cops think Malone has something to do with it.</p><p>In fact, everyone thinks that Malone had something to do with Harry's death and the missing gift, including an unctuous South American, a sadistic killer, and the alky sailor who was supposed to drop it off. They all figure that Malone has got the goods. He doesn't even know what the goods are, but it's up to him to find them--and the man who killed Harry--before he finds himself ... dead wrong.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"He can put a story together that will have you on the edge of your chair.
