A bet is made--to win, a man must be tailed. But a light-hearted wager turns to mystery with a disappearance, then murder. What, and who, is working behind the scenes? Throw in a love triangle, shady South American financial dealings, and a bag full of snakes, and you've got another free-for-all adventure that requires the erudite Homer Evans to untangle a strange puzzle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Elliot Paul brews another of his lethal literary cocktails in 'Waylaid in Boston' . . . The sophisticated sleuth Homer Evans and his lieutenant Finke Maguire again encounter murder, this time in the very capital of propriety. Characters, outlandish; plot, sheer humorous lunacy.\" (Ralph Morrissey, 1953)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The Boston scramble starts with a casual bet that one Leverett Bengay, a well known man about town, cannot shadow an unsuspecting citizen for 24 hours.  Homer] Evans gets in on the bet that the amateur sleuth will fumble the ball, then does a fulltime job himself, picking up a murder to solve in the process. It is, indeed, as the book jacket says, a mad and merry murder maze . . . mostly maze.\" (1953)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elliot Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1616463422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781616463427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Coachwhip Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Elliot Paul","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979393073407,"sku":"9781616463427","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e768c99-58e8-4a1c-8450-0d619da3bf5e.jpg?v=1683245295","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waylaid-in-boston-elliot-paul-9781616463427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
