“Pastis’s sixth wry and dry comic caper . . . features a couple of real mysteries for the obstinately clueless Timmy Failure.” — Kirkus Reviews
Timmy is in Key West, Florida, ostensibly for the honeymoon of his mother and Doorman Dave (if they even got married, which Timmy doubts). Unfortunately for Timmy, crime doesn’t take a vacation. And because Total has fled to Cuba seeking political asylum, Timmy must rely on a new partner for help: Doorman Dave’s nephew Emilio. Meanwhile, a surprise newcomer shows up in Timmy’s life and, as if things couldn’t get more hectic, Timmy’s pants have been stolen by a six-toed cat.
