The Lady in the Silver Cloud: Stewart Hoag Mysteries

Award-winning author David Handler returns with popular mystery creation Stewart 'Hoagy' Hoag.

David Handler was born and raised in Los Angeles. He began his career in New York as a journalist, and has since written thirteen novels about the witty and dapper celebrity ghostwriter Stewart Hoag, including the Edgar and American Mystery Award-winning The Man Who Would Be F. Scott Fitzgerald and the newest entry The Man in the White Linen Suit. David's short stories have earned him a Derringer Award nomination and other honours. He was a member of the original writing staff that created the Emmy Award-winning sitcom Kate and Allie and has continued to write extensively for television and films. He lives in a 200-year-old carriage house in Old Lyme, Connecticut.

Adultery, blackmail, trick-or-treaters, unseemly ties to organized crime, and New York in the 1990s. What's not to like?
PRAISE FOR DAVID HANDLER: 'One of my all-time favorite series!' Harlan Coben. 'David Handler is the master of the sly, comedic mystery' Adriana Trigiani. 'Full of dark secrets and potential suspects, so many of each that they threaten to overwhelm Hoagy, although it should be noted that they never overwhelm author Handler, who keeps a sure hand on the steering wheel' Booklist. 'Handler's breezy, unpretentious and warm-hearted hero provides a breath of fresh air in a world of investigative angst' Publishers Weekly. 'David Handler is a hoot, and his books are just the thing for what ails you. I find it hard to begrudge him his Edgar!'
