Mark Genevich is a South Boston private detective who happens to have a severe form of narcolepsy, which includes hypnagogic hallucinations, like waking dreams. Unsurprisingly, his practice is not exactly booming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen one day the daughter of an ambitious district attorney and a contestant on the reality talent show American Star named Jennifer Times comes to him for help--or does she? A man has stolen her fingers, she claims, and she'd like Genevich to get them back. When the PI wakes up from what must surely be a hallucination, the only evidence that his client may have been real is a manila envelope on his desk. Inside are revealing photos of Jennifer. Is Genevich dealing with a blackmailer or an exhibitionist? And where is the mysterious young lady, who hopefully still has her fingers attached?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe detective has no choice but to plunge into what proves to be a bad dream of a case, with twists and turns even his subconscious could not anticipate. Chloroforming the hardboiled crime genre then shaking it awake and spinning it around, Paul Tremblay delivers a wholly original, wildly imaginative, gleefully entertaining noir mystery--guaranteed to keep you up all night, even if Mark Genevich won't be joining you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTremblay, Paul:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003ePaul Tremblay has won the Bram Stoker, British Fantasy, and Massachusetts Book awards and is the author of \u003cem\u003eGrowing Things, The Cabin at the End of the World, Disappearance at Devil's Rock, A Head Full of Ghosts, \u003c\/em\u003eand the crime novels \u003cem\u003eThe Little Sleep\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eNo Sleep Till Wonderland\u003c\/em\u003e.
