Meanwhile, his sidekicks—Max the former FBI agent and Lola the artist—don't quite rise to the level of Dr. Watson, either. For example, when a large, dead pig turns up on Trike's floor in the middle of the night, none of them can figure out what it means. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking as the astronomical reward being offered diminishes drastically every day. That, plus the increasing reality that their own lives are in danger, lift this astonishing debut beyond its hilarious premise—a smart man befuddled by the idiotic—and turns it into something more than just a smart homage to Sherlock (with maybe a touch of early Jonathan Lethem thrown in). It becomes a compelling and compulsive thriller . . . with the added bonus that the prose is often as breathtaking as the tale. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York|cMelville House|d2015 |nAvailable via World Wide Web. 650 0 Private investigators|vFiction. 650 0 Murder|xInvestigation|vFiction. 650 0 Experimental fiction. 650 0 Postmodernism. 655 7 Mystery fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 710 2 OverDrive, Inc.,|edistributor. 856 40 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby|uhttps:// naperville.overdrive.com/media/CF10F279-785F-498B-81C8- 49D323FAA489 856 42 |zClick here to access excerpt|uhttps:// samples.overdrive.com/exaggerated-murder?.epub- sample.overdrive.com
