The Mystery of the Invisible Hand

"A cerebral delight, The Mystery of the Invisible Hand is an engrossing, original, and compelling whodunit in the tradition of Amanda Cross and Joanne Dobson."--Carolyn Hart, Agatha Award-winning author of Letter from Home"Marshall Jevons is the pioneer for integrating economics and detective fiction, and The Mystery of the Invisible Hand is another fine effort in this genre."--Tyler Cowen, George Mason University"While it's been said that economics is the 'dismal science, ' there's nothing dismal in Marshall Jevons's latest novel, The Mystery of the Invisible Hand.
