Official synopsis Publisher
Here’s CHIP HARRISON–the second series character created by Lawrence Block, bestselling author of A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES…
How can a series predicated on the hero’s sexual innocence survive past a second book? How can our Chip remain the same age forever? Simple, Block decided, and put our Lecher in the Wry to work for a private detective, the remarkable Leo Haig. Haig believes that Nero Wolfe really exists, and that if he distinguishes himself professionally he may one day be invited to dine at the Great Man’s table. And Chip hires on as Haig’s eyes and ears–if not his nose and throat. Haig’s client in THE TOPLESS TULIP CAPER is Thelma Wolinsky, known to Leo Haig as a distinguished amateur breeder of tropical fish, and to the world as topless dancer Tulip Willing. It sounds like just the sort of case for Chip, doesn’t it? You bet it does.
