Shoot the President, Are You Mad? — Frank McAuliffe

Have you ever heard of the firm of Mandrell Limited? Chances are your answer is 'no.' Do not let it disturb you. Our clientele is decidedly select and we do not advertise. Ours is a service organization. The service itself is rather difficult to describe. If you insist on one of those terse explanations, gross terminology designed for quick reading by your ever so busy executive: The firm of Mandrell Limited is in the business of insuring that selected individuals move from this life on to the next life not on a schedule arranged by Mother Nature or by mischance but rather on a schedule dictated by an "interested party." Mandrell Limited deals in excellence. The firm, in its own small way, is attempting to restore craftsmanship in a world where this honest term is known in legend only. This is the final book in the Edgar Award-winning series featuring the irrepressible Augustus Mandrell.
