Skin 'o My Tooth (Paperback)

Twelve classic mystery tales featuring an unconventional sleuth from the author of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Lawyer and amateur detective Patrick Mulligan is not exactly popular. His colleagues dont care for him and he has few friends. He does however have plenty of clients. Mulligan is always willing to do whatever it takes to get them off the hook and away from the gallows. If that means solving the crimes himself so be it... Originally published in 1928 this collection of twelve short mystery stories as told by Mulligans confidential clerk follows the exploits of the Irish lawyer. With his keen intellect humor and a bit of cynicism Mulligan ferrets out the truth to protect the innocent and take down the guilty.
