At stake is a cool billion or so if he can prove that a high-tech mogul's handwritten will is a forgery. All Milo has to do is walk into the lion's den--the home town of the cult--and snatch a cache of love letters the mogul supposedly wrote as a teenager. Easy enough. Unless somebody plans to kill him. . . . ...

Milo Turner, the tall and (if he does say so) handsome scam artist whose adventures have entertained readers of Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine for decades, takes on a religious cult in his second book-length romp. At stake is a cool billion or so if he can prove that a high-tech mogul's handwritten will is a forgery. All Milo has to do is walk into the lion's den--the home town of the cult--and snatch a cache of love letters the mogul supposedly wrote as a teenager. Easy enough. Unless somebody plans to kill him. . . . This new edition includes an Afterword by the author, two-time Edgar winner Francis M. Nevins, along with republication of the early short story upon which the novel was based. Publishers Weekly greeted Milo Turner's first adventure, The 120 Hour Clock (also from Perfect Crime), as "fun through the last wry word."

Dust jacket has some wrinkling, chipping and crease on the edges and corners, tanning and light shelf wear. Book has some bumped corners, light discoloration and shelf wear. A Milo Turner Mystery. 8.75"x5.5", 207 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. It is raining in New York City, and con man Milo Turner plans a quiet afternoon listening to classical music and enjoying a good book in his alternate persona of George Boyd, suave Manhattanite. His plans change abruptly when his Central Park high-rise apartment is invaded by a wrinkled and white-haired little gnome and a chocolate-skinned, rangy young giant with a close-cropped beard, a mustache, and a.357 Magnum. Although Milo cannot believe it, the gnome confidently address him as Milo Turner, and astonishingly knows as well that another one of Milo's incarnations is as Arthur Lattman, private investigator. It is in this guise that they want him, and to this end they kidnap him for the day-a kidnap sweetened with a briefcase full of twenty-dollar bills. The odd couple represent a huge electronics firm called Omnitron Technologies; their mission is to enlist Milo-or Lattman-to investigate some handwriting samples that are the only means of proving or disproving a holographic will left by the company's wonder-boy owner and founder. The will leaves the ninety-million-dollar-a-year-enterprise to a strange and enormously powerful cult called the Drakean Union. The samples are some very bad love poems claimed by a woman to have been written to her when she and the dead entrepreneur were high-school classmates. Milo accepts the assignment-for half a million dollars-and beings to learn more about the Drakean Union, of which his knowledge has been only cursory. The cult, with its midwestern university and its elaborate center nearby to which thousands mindlessly pay both monetary and spiritual tribute, has an underside that he finds uglier and more terrifying with every new piece of information. The assignment calls upon all of Milo's extraordinary skills and ingenuity, and even so threatens to end in disaster. Not only money but power is at stake, and even the usually unflappable Milo is amazed at some of the results of the forces he sets in motion. Clever, suspenseful, peopled with bizarre but believable (sometimes all-too-believable) characters, The Ninety Million Dollar Mouse portrays a fitting challenge to its superior protagonist.
