Monday Always Leads to Murder

"It's a choker worn by King Midas." Harry Monday sizes her up and asks, "You want me to find the Midas Muffler?"

And once again, that cliché in a trenchcoat and fedora is off on another case, one which has him trying to solve a 20-year-old murder mystery and write a play about his career at the same time

Harry soon finds himself, as usual, way over his head as chaos swirls around him - a mousy little woman wants Harry to take on a case for her and then officer Brogan rushes in and arrests her

Then an actor starts masquerading as Harry; a janitor shows up at all the right (or wrong) times; and the curse of a missing gem appears

But our man Harry manages to wisecrack his way through yet another fast-paced, clue-strewn mystery
