Whatever...) to reach deep for the ever-elusive happy ending.

BLACK JACK JUSTICE 16 – THE BEEFSTEAK BOTHERATION (MYSTERY)To say that Jack and Trixie were surprised to get a call from Braithwaites, the biggest spit-and-polish detective agency in town, was putting it mildly. But to be invited to dine with the Gentleman Detective himself at his Club? That's just downright shocking - or at least very very suspicious. But if Big Larry Braithwaite thinks he can con Jack Justice into taking a train wreck of a case off his hands by stuffing our hero so full of prime rib that he can't see straight... well... yeah, that'll probably work.

If everything's sunny, who's the crazy on the rooftop with the high-powered rifle, and why is he gunning for our gumshoes?
