Detective Muldoon is on the case. Someone is targeting Portland's apple merchants, and it's his job to find out why. Only Muldoon isn't your ordinary gumshoe - he comes from a long line of literary investigators, the kind who solve murders by deducing the true criminal without ever having to leave the comfort of their armchairs. His preferred M.O.? Just wait around and the crime will resolve itself. There's a problem, though. Muldoon isn't that smart and his only luck is the no-good kind. He's hardboiled like a stale egg salad sandwich. Soon enough another victim turns up dead under circumstances even more grotesque than the first. Can Muldoon figure it out and stop the killer?
