<p>These stories are funny! The 29 Turnbuckle tales offered here mix black humor with "formula" crime stories in a hilarious twist to the hard-boiled detective tale.</p> <p>Turnbuckle's cockeyed reconstructions of a murder exasperate his logical and long-suffering sidekick, Ralph, but they lead to a solution anyway--most of the time. Turnbuckle may or may not know whodunit but he's always confident that there will soon be another murder.</p>
