Work Description
Asey Mayo mysteries #1
First, a best-selling author turns up dead. Then Asey's best friend becomes the chief suspect and Asey knows he has to do something. There's only one clue: a sardine can. And only one weekend to clear it all up.
Dale Sanborn had as many visitors the night he was killed as if he'd been the most popular man on Cape Cod. One of them killed him—that was sure. The only trouble was, any of them could have—and all of them wanted to.
When the local sheriff rounded up his suspects, they included Bill Porter, the millionaire who lived in Wellfleet because he hated cities and loved Miss Prue's niece, Betsey; Johnny Kurth, and his divorced wife, both of whom tried to wangle invitations for the same weekend; and Betsey's college friend who had hair like a chrysanthemum.
But Asey Mayo, Bill Porter's man of all work, a lean old Cape Codder whose maxim was "Common Sense," puts his sharp wits to work to save Bill from being indicted. For the sheriff was so convinced of Bill's guilt that he put him into the pillory the town made for its tercentenary celebration.
