The Brass Cupcake: A Novel

In John D. MacDonald's classic novel, ex-cop Cliff Bartells takes on a new role in an insurance company after leaving the police force due to a moral crisis. His quiet life is disrupted when the murder of a wealthy tourist puts him in the middle of a high-profile investigation, and he partners with the victim's determined niece, Melody Chance. Together, they navigate the treacherous waters of Florence City, seeking a suspect among its morally ambiguous inhabitants. An exclusive introduction by Dean Koontz adds fresh insight to this gripping tale of crime and conscience.
