Depressed by the loss of his wife and the death of a client, he wonders if his time has passed him by.\"Like the single apple that wouldn't fall from the tree, I hang rotting in winter,\" he tells himself.But maybe the world still needs an old-fashioned guy like Frank.\"There's no more damsels and for sure no more knights,\" she told him. \"Maybe except for you.\"When a mousy-looking woman in a frumpy dress came tapping at the pebbled glass of his office door, Frank thought he had found a simple and quick case that would keep him fortified with cheap rye on his spiral of self-destruction. He couldn't have been more wrong, and he was in for the case of his lifetime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Gambogi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692428372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692428375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blue Swan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.40d","brand":"Robert Gambogi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742316638463,"sku":"9780692428375","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-patsy-robert-gambogi-9780692428375","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
