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","brand":"Tremblay, Paul","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Depot)","offer_id":43529316696288,"sku":"","price":15.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/products\/BNCImageAPI_90dc53bf-e724-40f5-b0da-e37057cef023.jpg?v=1665752520","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/the-little-sleepbooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
