Publisher's Synopsis
KRYSTAL KAN, a private detective trailing a murder suspect, is hidden away in a sanatorium for her protection after she is savaged by what she thought was her own shadow. But cold steel-like claws had torn mercilessly through her thin clothing into her soft flesh. During her recovery she meets delusional patients who believe they are SHERLOCK HOLMES, HERCULE POIROT, MISS JANE MARPLE, CHARLIE CHAN and NICK CHARLES, the Thin Man. To her amazement, she discovers their deductive powers mirror those of their fictional alter egos, and Krystal turns to them to solve her case. This novel will appeal to fans of the great detectives of old, and to those in search of a new voice.
