The Thin Man

A retired detective trading police work for the management of his wife’s considerable fortune finds his leisurely Manhattan holiday interrupted by an unusual request. When a missing inventor becomes the center of an inquiry, he is reluctant to take the case until his wife’s appetite for adventure overrides his hesitation. Together, they follow a trail that cuts through layers of deception and leads to a startling revelation: what began as a disappearance is something far more sinister. A classic mystery driven by sharp wit, an unlikely partnership, and a murder hiding in plain sight
