Pearls, Lies, and Alibis

Pearls, Lies, and Alibis

A Mick & Mack Mystery

Toronto, 1952: The city hums with glitzy galas, smoky jazz clubs, and secrets lurking in every shadow. But when a scandalous affair leads to murder, Detectives Mick McCathie and Mack MacNeely find themselves neck-deep in a mystery that’s as tangled as a string of pearls.

It starts with a politician’s wife, Lila Pritchard, whose charm is as sharp as her tongue—and whose lies could fill a ballroom. When her lover turns up dead in a dark alley behind the glamorous Palais Royale, the spotlight shifts to her, her powerful husband, and a trail of corruption that leads straight to City Hall.

As Mick and Mack unravel the threads of deceit, they’re plunged into a whirlwind of high-stakes drama: a desperate fugitive on the run, a trail of dirty money, and a shadowy shooter who’s always one step ahead. From chaotic chases to a midnight showdown at the Woodbine Racetrack, the detectives must stay sharp—and keep their sense of humor intact—if they hope to outwit their enemies.

But when the case takes an unexpected turn and pits them against one of Toronto’s most powerful men, Mick and Mack will need more than their quick wits to survive. With the clock ticking, loyalties shifting, and danger closing in, can they expose the truth before they become the next victims in this deadly game?

Witty, fast-paced, and packed with intrigue, Pearls, Lies, and Alibis is a rollicking ride through 1950s Toronto, blending sharp humor, thrilling twists, and unforgettable characters in a mystery you won’t be able to put down.
