What to expect
Inspector Francis Xavier Flynn, also known as international superspy N. N. 13, returns in this final book of the intelligently written, scintillating series by bestselling author Gregory Mcdonald.
Severely lacking in sleep from a recent bout of marathon investigative work, all Flynn wants is a proper night’s rest. Unfortunately, at the early morning summons of his frantic daughter, he’s off to the cemetery to rescue her young friend who’s in quite a peculiar bind. And as the day progresses, a curious collection of puzzling cases fall into Flynn’s lap, each one stranger and more urgent than the last.
As Flynn plunges into harm’s way in pursuit of the truth, buried secrets and dark motives come to light as he races to solve each crime and bring these seemingly disconnected matters to a full and complete case closed.
Critics Review
-
“Charming…Mcdonald’s fans will find it graceful and diverting…It cannot be denied that…Mcdonald still does what he does exceedingly well.”
Washington Post
-
“Flynn’s World is cause for celebration. Not only does it revive Boston police inspector Francis Xavier Flynn, it gives new work by Gregory Mcdonald, whose deft plotting, breezy style, pointed social commentary, and keen wit make him one of our most satisfying writers.”
Boston Globe
-
“Gregory Mcdonald is one of the greats…Flynn fans will adore this long-awaited book, and thoughtful mystery readers will appreciate Mcdonald’s quirky take on the mystery genre.”
Rocky Mountain News
-
“Flynn has aged well in the twenty years since his last appearance in print. Two-time Edgar winner Mcdonald’s humor, pacing, and erudite dialogue are as fresh as ever. Welcome back, Flynn.”

“When he isn’t crossing swords with benighted academics like Dean Wincomb and Donald Carver, he and his chess partner, Lieutenant Walter (‘Cocky’) Concannon are conspiring to bust Detective Lieutenant John Kurt, whose impressive arrest record includes blacks, gays, and Jews, but not a single straight white gentile…Intersperses shreds of detection with gleams of Mcdonald’s trademark badinage.”
