Dividend on Death – Mike Shayne Mysteries Book 1

Legendary hard-boiled author Bret Halliday’s first book in the Mike Shayne series.

Mike Shayne has just poured himself a drink when Phyllis Brighton tries to throw herself out the window of his downtown apartment. Luckily, he blocks her just before she can launch herself over the sill. She tried to warn him she was crazy, but he didn’t listen. Her doctor and her new stepfather, on the other hand, both believe Phyllis is suffering from a kind of Electra complex, a fixation on her mother.
