Shadow Ticket. by Pynchon, Thomas.;
Milwaukee 1932, the Great Depression going full blast, repeal of Prohibition just around the corner, Al Capone in the federal pen, the private investigation business shifting from labor-management relations to the more domestic kind. Hicks McTaggart, a one-time strikebreaker turned private eye, thinks hes found job security until he gets sent out on what should be a routine case, locating and bringing back the heiress of a Wisconsin cheese fortune whos taken a mind to go wandering. Before he knows it, hes been shanghaied onto a transoceanic liner, ending up eventually in Hungary where theres no shoreline, a language from some other planet, and enough pastry to see any cop well into retirementand of course no sign of the runaway heiress hes supposed to be chasing. By the time Hicks catches up with her he will find himself also entangled with Nazis, Soviet agents, British counterspies, swing musicians, practitioners of the paranormal, outlaw motorcyclists, and the troubles that come with each of them, none of which Hicks is qualified, forget about being paid, to deal with. Surrounded by history he has no grasp on and cant see his way around in or out of, the only bright side for Hicks is its the dawn of the Big Band Era and as it happens hes a pretty good dancer. Whether this will be enough to allow him somehow to lindy-hop his way back again to Milwaukee and the normal world, which may no longer exist, is another question.Library Bound Incorporated

The private life of spies ; and The exquisite art of getting even / by McCall Smith, Alexander,1948-author.; McCall Smith, Alexander,1948-Short stories.Selections.; container of (work):McCall Smith, Alexander, 1948-Exquisite art of getting even.; container of (work):McCall Smith, Alexander, 1948-Private life of shadows.;
"From the beloved author of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series comes a new short story collection: half spy stories, half tales of revenge, all highlight the kinder, funnier, and gentler side of espionage and retribution. In this dual collection of short stories, Alexander McCall Smith brings his trademark humor and warmth to inventive tales of spying and vengeance. In one story, a spy dropped deep into enemy territory manages to disguise himself--quite convincingly--as a nun. In another, an invitation to join the Vatican Secret Service sends a prospective operative down a rabbit hole of controversy and confusion. A third story finds an author, on the brink of public ruin, seeing the error of his ways after an act of kindness saves the day. A keen observer of humanity imbued with a sparkling imagination, Alexander McCall Smith illustrates throughout that transparency is paramount and forgiveness is restorative. With surprising insight and a healthy helping of humor, these stories remind us that, in the end, the high road is often the better one for all involved"--
