MEET AMY BREWSTER
THE THREE NOVELETTES THAT INTRODUCED THE "FEMALE NERO WOLFE" - AMY BREWSTER, 300-POUND, CIGAR-SMOKING, SOCIAL REGISTER BLUE-BLOOD WHO SWEARS LIKE A STEVEDORE AND IS A GENIUS AT SOLVING MYSTERIES!
A trio of classics gathered together from the pulp magazines of mystery's Golden Age for the first time ever.
"Swiftly paced, tempestuous, and explosive..." -Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine
"The Corpse Came Ashore" – When murder strikes a member of her own family at the Brewster Mansion on Cape Cod, Amy starts shaking skeletons out of the proverbial family closet, disclosing a murder and solving a generations old mystery.
"Amy Stops the Clock" – When she finds her newest case has romantic overtones, Miss Brewster orders a four pound steak to fortify herself against the histrionics that are sure to follow.
"The Maestro's Secret" – A farrago of larceny, adultery, murder and blackmail, interrupts a quiet evening at home savoring a bottle of expensive gin and a box of first-rate cigars as La Amy unravels a case that has the police baffled and threatens to send an innocent man to that chair.
"Amy Brewster a cigar-smoking, 300-pound lawyer-financier...Upper class but unfeminine is defined against the genre's stereotypes, particularly the femme fatale: she is not attractive, not home-bound, and not submissive, either conversationally or professionally." -Prof. William Marling, Early Female Detectives
