内容简介

When Decimus Fortesque， the millionaire collector of wives and rare manuscripts， hires Archy McNally to locate the Holy Grail of missing tomes-the complete text of Truman Capote s Answered Prayers-Palm Beach s premier P.I. uncovers nothing but scandal. Luscious Claudia Lester claims to have had the manuscript but declares that her lover， Matthew Harrigan， ran off with it; a lover scorned， Harrigan says Claudia is lying. And Rodney Whitehead， a shady antiques dealer， maintains that neither Claudia nor Harrigan is to be believed. When the supposed owner of the manuscript is found dead in a sleazy motel， the investigating officer， Georgia O Hara， suspects Archy knows more than he s willing to admit about the murder， the manuscript， and its ardent pursuers composed of ne er-do-wells and flimflam artists.
