Like most private eyes, Mark Genevich is something of a lone wolf. So group therapy isnt a great fit. But his landlord/mother is convinced it will help his narcolepsy--ignoring the fact that his disorder is a physical condition. Truth is, he has the time. Its been a year and a half since his last big case, or any case.
Its never a wise choice to go on a two-day bender with someone you meet in group therapy, but theres something about Gus that intrigues Genevich. And when his new drinking buddy asks him to protect a female friend whos being stalked, the PI finally has a case.
Unfortunately, hes about to sleepwalk right into a very real nightmare. Before long hes a suspect in an arson investigation and running afoul of everyone from the cops to a litigious lawyer and a bouncer with anger management issues. Genevich must keep his wits about him--always a challenge for a detective prone to unexpected blackouts and hallucinations--to solve the crime and live to show up at his next therapy session.
In Paul Tremblays follow-up to The Little Sleep, unreliable narrator Mark Genevich once again leads readers on a surreal and suspenseful wild ride through the mean streets of South Boston and his own dreamlike reality.
