Official synopsis Publisher
One morning legendary wit Dorothy Parker discovers someone under Manhattan’s famed Algonquin Round Table. A little early for a passed out drunk, isn’t it? But he’s not dead drunk, just dead. When a charming writer from Mississippi named Billy Faulkner becomes a suspect in the murder, Dorothy decides to dabble in a little detective work, enlisting her literary cohorts.
It’s up to the Algonquins to outwit the true culprit-preferably before cocktail hour-and before the clever killer turns the tables on them.
