Condition remarks:

A gripping work of crime fiction, Shadow of a Broken Man introduces Dr. Robert Frederickson — known as Mongo — a criminology professor and former circus acrobat who also works as a private detective. The novel uncovers a labyrinthine conspiracy when Mongo is hired to investigate the apparent resurrection of a famous architect who was presumed dead, setting off a chain of increasingly dangerous revelations. Chesbro crafts a taut, atmospheric thriller with a richly drawn protagonist whose dwarfism makes him one of the most distinctive and memorable figures in the genre. The narrative moves at a relentless pace, blending hard-boiled detective fiction with elements of espionage and the occult, all rendered in sharp, intelligent prose. This debut installment in the Mongo Mysteries series established Chesbro as a bold and original voice in American crime writing.
