From the author of The Missing Bishop and Monastery Nightmare comes one of the most memorable heroes since the eponymous protagonist of Fletch. Birch Kirby is a middle-aged private eye with a penchant for drinking too much, singing Irish barroom songs, and befriending $25-a-night ladies-of-the-night. He is not exactly the smoothest private eye in Chicago. But the CIA has noticed Kirby. They like his style. Nobody can be as genuinely inept as Kirby pretends to be, and they need someone with his imagination. After all, strange things are going on in the town of Grizzly Gulch, Illinois. The KGB keeps transmitting secret messages that, when decoded, read SAMD+23. The CIA has been scratching their heads over that one, but they expect Kirby to break the case. Three months behind in his rent, Kirby answers the call of duty and goes into deep cover as the bullpen catcher for the Grizzly Gulch No Sox, only to end up fighting off the No Soxs nymphomaniacal owner, Matilda Richwell, instead of the KGB. But through bumbles and accidents that would make Chevy Chase blush, Birch Kirby learns the meaning of SAMD+23. The struggle to save the world from ultimate catastrophe becomes the dramatic mainspring of this crisply written, crackingly entertaining novel of high jinks and serious conniving. Media ><

Somehow Kirby breaks a secret code and saves the world. Great Dust Jacket by Loretta Trezzoof of a large baseball with a lite time fuse; an elephant coming out of the baseball, holding in it's trunk the American and Soviet Union's flags. A fun book to read, even it is somewhat politically dated. Both the non price clipped Dust Jakcet and the book are in very good condition. I have hundreds of baseball mysteries and novels in stock.<
