Robert L. Fish

Three aging mystery writers turn to the more lucrative business of murder-for-hire in this darkly funny crime caper by the Edgar Award–winning author.
 
 In days gone by, Clifford Simpson, Tim Briggs, and William Carruthers were celebrated among the literary elite for their works of crime fiction. Now, they pass the time in their corner alcove at the Mystery Authors’ Club in London while the younger members whisper about them condescendingly. Worse yet, the royalties have really dried up.
 
 But they’ve decided to put their years of valuable experience to use in a new venture: For the small sum of one thousand pounds, they’ll kill anyone for whatever the reason—love, hate, money, fun. All the client has to do was drop a line in their post box and the deal is done.
 
 They dispatch their victims with a cool demeanor and the utmost dignity, and soon the spice has returned to their lives. Until everything begins to go wrong, and they discover that committing murder is never as easy as writing about it . . .
 
Praise for the writing of Robert L. Fish
 
 “Vivid, humorous, daring and shrewd.” —Anthony Boucher
 
 “Sharply ingenious.” —The New York Times

The Carruthers, Simpson, and Briggs Mysteries

The Murder League

On a transatlantic cruise, three elderly gentlemen have the adventure of a lifetime

When the captain of the SS Sunderland sees the three grey-haired passengers, he does not expect them to cause any trouble. He is mistaken. If he knew how much trouble they will cause, he’d likely leap over the railing and swim for shore. Carruthers, Simpson, and Briggs are three of the most dangerous men in the world. Founders of the British Mystery Writers Club, they were once well-known authors of detective fiction. But recently, their business has shifted from writing about murders to committing them.

As members of the Murder League, the men are willing to kill any man on earth for the price of $1,000, and kill him in style. The Sunderland is in for a very blood crossing, and there will be plenty of work for the Murder League.

Rub-A-Dub-Dub

Another instalment in the Murder League, this time ex‑detectives Carruthers, Simpson, and Briggs fall prey to inept kidnappers Clarence Alexander and Harold Nishbagel. Of course, the situation is quickly overturned and the captives bring the kidnappers to their knees. It is time for a new brand of justice as these three older Britons take the law into their own hands.
