Selected by Indie Booksellers for the March 2009 Indie Next List“This story of a clerk becoming an unlikely detective is the perfect novel noir, like some wonderful, early black-and-white film from France or Germany. The mystery twists and turns, and the universe grows into a beautiful web of fantasy. The Manual of Detection is the most fun circus ride I've been on in years.”
-- Justin Fetterman, The Alabama Booksmith, Birmingham, AL
Description
