Pit and the pendulum

Here are five funny, entertaining, delectable mystery stories featuring Peter "Pit Bull" Geller, who may be a bit damaged physically (in an auto accident), but has lost neither his biting wit nor his keen sense of how the upper crust manages their criminal ways. Included are: "Pit and the Pendulum," "Pit on the Road to Hell," "A Christmas Pit," "Dog Pit," and "Horse Pit" (winner of the Black Orchid Award from the Nero Wolfe Society and Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine). Great reading from a master storyteller! Peter 'Pit Bull' Keller is a ruined man ... A WUNDERKIND at a Wall Street investment bank, his constantly racing mind started his downfall - a nervous breakdown, caused by working twenty hours days, seven days a week. Then, just as he was beginning to pull himself together mentally, a taxi ran a red light and hit him, crippling him permanently. But despite his dependence on alcohol and painkillers, Peter's exceptional intelligence remains intact - as many criminals find to their cost ...!
