A bet is made--to win, a man must be tailed. But a light-hearted wager turns to mystery with a disappearance, then murder. What, and who, is working behind the scenes? Throw in a love triangle, shady South American financial dealings, and a bag full of snakes, and you've got another free-for-all adventure that requires the erudite Homer Evans to untangle a strange puzzle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Elliot Paul brews another of his lethal literary cocktails in 'Waylaid in Boston' . . . The sophisticated sleuth Homer Evans and his lieutenant Finke Maguire again encounter murder, this time in the very capital of propriety. Characters, outlandish; plot, sheer humorous lunacy.\" (Ralph Morrissey, 1953)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The Boston scramble starts with a casual bet that one Leverett Bengay, a well known man about town, cannot shadow an unsuspecting citizen for 24 hours.  Homer] Evans gets in on the bet that the amateur sleuth will fumble the ball, then does a fulltime job himself, picking up a murder to solve in the process. It is, indeed, as the book jacket says, a mad and merry murder maze . . . mostly maze.\" (1953)\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 230\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 15, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52537908265267,"sku":"9781616463427","price":34.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/UHN1WDlTdkhDOS9vK05MbW1Hancvdz09.webp?v=1760824618","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/waylaid-in-boston-a-homer-evans-mystery-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
