The Adventures of Henry Turnbuckle: Detective Comedies by Jack Ritchie

by Martin H. Greenberg and Jack Ritchie

These stories are funny The 29 Turnbuckle tales offered here mix black humor with "formula" crime stories in a hilarious twist to the hard-boiled detective tale.

Turnbuckle's cockeyed reconstructions of a murder exasperate his logical and long-suffering sidekick, Ralph, but they lead to a solution anyway--most of the time. Turnbuckle may or may not know whodunit but he's always confident that there will soon be another murder.
