By the way, Harry's a genius. Really. DEATH IMITATING ART follows the exploits of Harry Spangler, an alcohol-dependent substitute teacher with a photographic memory and a genius-level I.Q. Add to the mix a disgraced art appraiser with an appetite for revenge; a bartender with designs on being a mafia capo; and a painter who dreams of stardom and marijuana. When their paths converge, Harry devises a get-rich-quick scheme, loosely based on a \"Here's Lucy\" episode. But the caper rapidly degenerates into a series of entanglements from which not even Lucy could have extricated herself; especially when a mafia uncle and a smitten police detective join the mix. An often-hilarious and fast-moving caper, Rich J. Stone's debut novel is a true hybrid: a crime noir in the body of a screwball comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glarm Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45497686425751,"sku":"9780981560908","price":983.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780981560908.webp?v=1767448371","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/death-imitating-art-9780981560908","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
