Of Mice and Murderers

by John Stockmyer · 2001

Z-Detective seriesbook 1 of 1

Meet Big Bob Zapolska, known simply as Z, a private investigator who has no license to practice. Rather than attend a formal training program, he learns his trade the way he sees fit, by reading detective fiction and hoping it will sharpen his instincts. Readers who enjoy a wry, bookish take on the classic sleuth will find a different kind of investigator at the center of this series. The opening book introduces him and sets up the odd, self-taught approach that defines his work.
