Product Description Graham Donovan, senior partner in the prestigious Chase & Ward law firm, falls victim to a slow poison, and Reuben Frost, the semiretired former leader of the law firm, becomes the unlikely sleuth From Publishers Weekly Drawing on his professional experiences, Murphy (a pen name) initiates with this mystery a series involving legal practices on Wall Street. Reuben Frost is 74, former chief of the eminent law firm of Chase & Ward; with his wife Cynthia, a retired ballerina, he helps Luis Bautista of New York City's detective bureau to solve a knotty case. The staff of the firm is shaken when partner Graham Donovan dies at lunch and Reuben finds poison in the victim's carafe at the office. Murder from a slowacting drug is the verdict and the suspects are many: Graham's son who hates him; a colleague whose wife had been the dead man's lover; the secretary known for her years of devotion to Graham. By the time the Frosts and Bautista bring the felon to book, readers will wish the author had emulated Reuben's "complete if judiciously edited account" of skulduggery. The mystery's unusual setting, plot and characters promise a good yarn, but it's sapped by needlessly attenuated exposition. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.
