McQuaid in August

Hardcover in a lightly worn dust jacket, 181 pages. This is the third book in the series about a New York cop named McQuaid. The book opens with McQuaid agreeing, against his better judgment, to do a favor for a woman he doesn't know. He winds up spending the night in her apartment, and partially because of fatigue and partially because of having had too much to drink, he falls into a deep sleep on her couch. When he wakes up the next day, the woman has been murdered. McQuaid knows nobody's going to believe his story, so he calls in sick and begins to try to solve the case himself. Light shelf wear. Clean copy. Record # 472385.
