Director's Cut

Fresh off his latest round of gritty culprit-busting in the critically acclaimed The Straight Man, the charismatic, hard-living private detective Moses Wine plunges back into action as he takes on his deadliest case yet. Moses Wine finds himself in Prague, sorting through a spate of sinister happenings on a film set. But before you can say "action!" all hell breaks the director of the film winds up in the hospital, snakes appear under people's pillows-and Moses himself steps in as director. Blisteringly paced and more twisted than an alpine highway, Director's Cut is a delightful slice of sly, character-rich storytelling in the classic detective-novel mode.
