Книга The Case of the Barking Clock - Автор Harry Stephen Keeler, Hazel Goodwin Keeler

"My guiltiest pleasure is Harry Stephen Keeler. He may been the greatest bad writer America has ever produced. Or perhaps the worst great writer. I do not know. There are few faults you can accuse him of that he is not guilty of. But I love him." – Neil Gaiman

It wasn’t fair! Just because Joe «Zicky» Czeszczicki had the misfortune to hire as his lawyer, 'Golden-Tongue' Winfrock, who died right before the trial, Joe was slated to die in 48 hours! There's no way a man accused of murdering a State's Attorney could beat those kinds of odds. But Joe didn't know about Crystal Armswayne of London and how she would figure into his life – and he knew even less about Tuddleton T. Trotter, ingenious author of Mathematics versus Crime. All of these threads – and more – come together in a masterwork of webworkian logic! [Note: This is the longer, British version of the book.]
