Hubbert & Lil

Who knifed Sterling & Sterling partner Robert Cheswick and left him in the Partners' Room with his fly open?Retired personnel manager T.S. Hubbert, hauled back to the office to field the press, cannot resist the challenge of this scandalous mystery. While the police focus on a possible insider-trading connection, Hubbert, strongly coached by his feisty eighty-four-year-old Auntie Lil, explores the personal angle. Lil insists the killer is a woman. Certainly the bank has its share of lethal ladies on staff -- not to mention Cheswick's elegant, ungrieving widow. Together Hubbert and Lil follow their hunches far afield, through deep secrets and more encounters with death. . . . "Deftly plotted and well-paced . . . Two wonderful sleuths made their debut." -- San Francisco Chronicle
