The Cross-Stitch Killer

A ruthless killer has found a gruesome way to silence his victims, stitching their lips shut to prevent them from revealing secrets—even after death.

But Paul Pry, a clever professional opportunist with a talent for navigating the criminal underworld, is ready to turn the tables. Armed with sharp instincts and a deadly sword cane, Pry enters a dangerous game where greed, deception, and murder intertwine.

As the mystery deepens, the hunter may discover that his prey is far more dangerous than expected. Can Paul Pry expose the killer before another victim is silenced forever?

Written by Erle Stanley Gardner, the legendary creator of Perry Mason, The Cross-Stitch Killer delivers classic pulp detective fiction filled with suspense, criminal intrigue, and hard-boiled action.
