Book description
When notorious gangster 'Fat Sam' Mahood is murdered, the chief suspect
is arrested nearby. But he seems to have suffered a breakdown.
Incarcerated in a mental institution, he's known only as the Man in the
White Suit. The suspect remains an enigma until Nurse Brenda calls on
Mystery Man, former patient and owner of No Alibis, Belfast's finest
mystery bookshop, to bring his powers of investigation to bear...
However, before our hero can even begin, the Man in the White Suit is
arrested for the murder of a fellow patient. But is he a double murderer
or a helpless scapegoat? Intrigue, conspiracy, and ancient Latin curses
all combine to give the Small Bookseller with No Name his most difficult
case to date. Bateman was a journalist in Northern Ireland before
becoming a full-time writer. His first novel, DIVORCING JACK, won the
Betty Trask Prize, and all his novels have been critically acclaimed. He
wrote the screenplays for the feature films DIVORCING JACK and WILD
ABOUT HARRY and the popular TV series MURPHY`S LAW starring James
Nesbitt. Bateman lives in Ireland with his family.
