Daniel Stashower's THE FLOATING LADY MURDERS A Harry Houdini Mystery | |||||||
Name of Detective: Harry Houdini Sidekick: Theodore "Dash" Hardeen, my young brother Hometown: Appleton, Wisconsin. Pay no attention to those who say I was born in Budapest, Hungary. I am as American as you are. Age: 23 Occupation: Justly-celebrated self-liberator and eclipsing sensation of the world stage. How did you get involved in sleuthing?: As the world's foremost conjuror and escape artist, I am naturally fond of puzzles. Pet Peeves: Obdurate theatrical managers and booking agents. Role Model: None, I am entirely unique and original, although in matters of detection I am partial to the methods of Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Hobbies: Muscular expansionism Distinguishing characteristics: My striking good looks and Adonis-like physique -- or would it be considered immodest to say so? Marital Status: My beloved wife Bess is the one bond from which I shall never attempt to escape. Quote: "Let me say that in a long life which has touched every side of humanity, Houdini is far and away the most curious and intriguing character whom I have ever encountered. I have met better men, and I have certainly met very many worse ones, but I have never met a man who had such strange contrasts in his nature, and such remarkable reserves of physical and mental courage." -- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle E-mail Address: Daniel@Stashower.com Favorite Websites: Stashower.com Author: Daniel Stashower Books & Year Published: The Floating Lady Murders, October 2000 The Dime Museum Murders, December '99
