At first, the dapper and unflappable Pignon Scorbion strikes something of an odd figure among the locals, who donât see a need for such an exacting investigator. But it isnât long before Haxford finds itself very much in need of a detective. Luckily, Scorbion and the local barber are old acquaintances, and the barbershop employs a cast of memorable characters whoâtogether with an aspiring young ace reporter for the local Morning Newsâare nothing less than enthralled by the enigmatic new chief police inspector. Investigating a trio of crimes whose origins span three continents and half a century, Pignon Scorbion and his âtonsorial sleuthsâ interview a parade of interested parties, but with every apparent clue, new surprises come to light. And just as it seems nothing can derail Scorbionâs cool head and almost unerring nose for deduction, in walks Thelma Smithâdazzling, whip-smart, and newly single. Has Pignon Scorbion finally met his match? For fans of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christieâs Hercule Poirot, author Rick Bleiweissâs quirky new detective and ensemble cast of characters set against the backdrop of small-town England in the 1910s, will feel both comfortingly familiar and thrillingly new"-- $c Goodreads.com. 541 $d 20230410. 600 1 $a Scorbion, Pignon $c (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 $a Police chiefs $v Fiction. 650 $a Small cities $v Fiction. 650 $a Barbers $v Fiction. 650 $a Barbershops $v Fiction. 650 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 651 1 $a England $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction.) 830 $a Pignon Scorbion mystery ; $v 1. 856 $u https://jeffco.axis360.baker-taylor.com/Title?itemid=0028409386 $3 null 941 $a 1 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20230622010606.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1713FE1410C211EE92257A9629ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
