This night at the pub will be his last . . . A classic whodunit starring the “affable Scotland Yarder” (Publishers Weekly).   Harry Dodd needs a ride home from the pub—but it’s not because he’s schnockered. He’s actually been stabbed. Unfortunately, no one realizes it until it’s too late. Who would want to kill such a well-liked fellow? Inspector Littlejohn is called in, and his investigation reveals a recent woeful turn in Dodd’s life, the ambitious family that cast him out, and a cesspit of jealousy, greed, and tawdry secrets. Then another body turns up, and another . . .    Praise for the Inspector Littlejohn mysteries   “Solid and ingenious.” —The New York Times   “Littlejohn achieves his goal spectacularly and successfully.” —Kirkus Reviews   “When you get a George Bellairs story you get something worth reading.” —Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch
