Dead Stock by Tim Hall
A Bert Shambles Mystery
Publisher: Cozy Cat Press
Publication Date: October 16, 2013
Bert Shambles is stuck back in his suburban Long Island hometown, enduring a three-year suspended sentence for an act of chivalry gone terribly wrong. He works part-time at a church thrift shop and makes extra money by selling "dead stock" — vintage clothes that have never been worn — to a local boutique.
On a routine pick up for the store, Bert learns that the widow of a recently deceased pro golfer is offering a reward for the return of her dead husband's favorite putter — and an even bigger reward for proof that her husband was murdered. Bert jumps at the chance, and soon finds himself being chased by a violent, van-driving maniac, romantically involved with a mobster's daughter, and quite possibly being set up to take the fall by his probation officer and crazy ex-girlfriend. As the forces of good and evil close in around him, Bert must race to clear his name and discover the truth so he doesn't wind up in prison … or worse.
