This is a collection of short stories introducing Parker Pyne. Pyne is a former statistician turned advisor to those with troubled spirits (his personal ad reads "Are you happy? If not, consult Parker Pyne"). The first half of the book uses Pyne's knowledge of statistics to cure everything from broken hearts to boredom. The second half of the book follows Parker Pyne on a "vacation" through the middle east where he uses his skills to solve crimes.
