"Miracles of resourcefulness, economy, and compassion." So wrote Kirkus Reviews about The Concise Cuddy, Jeremiah Healy's earlier short-story collection about private detective John Francis Cuddy. This second collection includes more short tales by the author whom Kirkus described as "the most consistently successful writer of private-eye stories since Ross Macdonald ." Cuddy is not only a skillful P.I., but a concerned human being who has experienced loss in his own life. He still communes with his dead wife Beth at a Boston graveyard, and though he lives in a world that can turn violent, he is not a violent man. Cuddy Plus One puts in book form thirteen previously uncollected cases about Cuddy including four nominees for the Shamus Award for Best Private-Eye Short story, and two stories that appeared in the annual Best American Mystery Stories.
