Baroness Orczy

Twelve classic mystery tales featuring an unconventional sleuth from the author of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Lawyer and amateur detective Patrick Mulligan is not exactly popular. His colleagues don’t care for him, and he has few friends. He does, however, have plenty of clients. Mulligan is always willing to do whatever it takes to get them off the hook and away from the gallows. If that means solving the crimes himself, so be it . . . Originally published in 1928, this collection of twelve short mystery stories, as told by Mulligan’s confidential clerk, follows the exploits of the Irish lawyer. With his keen intellect, humor, and a bit of cynicism, Mulligan ferrets out the truth to protect the innocent and take down the guilty.
