Es gibt bei Philip Maloney nicht nur komplizierte Fälle aus dem Alltag oder mit simplen Ganoven, sondern auch gefährlichere Mandate aus der Unterwelt.

Sherlock Holmes himself would have us believe that, once a case was finished, it – or the people involved – never crossed his mind again. “A client is to me a mere unit,” he once told Watson, “a factor in a problem.” And yet, in a career spanning multiple decades and thousands of cases, he must have occasionally re-crossed paths with previous clients – and the occasional villain as well! This anthology, with twenty-nine brand new stories, spread over three volumes, reveals some of those sequel investigations.

If you are answering emails at night, solving problems on weekends, taking calls on vacation, and making decisions no one else seems able to own, you are not alone. Many entrepreneurs do not burn out because their business is failing. They burn out because the business is working, growing, and quietly becoming too dependent on them. Your team needs you.
