Ludlow Pitman presents a gripping tale of deception, mystery, and the razor-thin line between guilt and innocence. Set against an atmospheric urban backdrop — suggested by the cover's evocative cityscape of crowded streets and looming rooftops — the narrative pulls the reader into a web of intrigue where an unusual alibi becomes both a shield and a trap for its protagonist. The central conflict hinges on the credibility of the impossible: an alibi so bizarre, so outlandish, that it defies belief — yet may be the only truth that matters.\n\nPitman writes with a taut, economical prose style characteristic of mid-20th-century crime fiction, building suspense through sharp dialogue and carefully rationed clues that reward the attentive reader. Freak Alibi belongs to the golden tradition of British mystery writing — cerebral, atmospheric, and relentlessly paced — where the puzzle is as much about human psychology as it is about whodunit. Whether the alibi holds or shatters under scrutiny is a question that will keep readers turning pages deep into the night.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49161041772763,"sku":"2026200011307-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1aa0f8c0-4d13-4797-bf7a-9fab0456c9f9.png?v=1787189600","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011307-secondhand-freak-alibi","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
