Gumshoe Conrad Metcalf has problems-there's a rabbit in his waiting
room and a trigger-happy kangaroo on his tail. Near-future Oakland
is a brave new world where evolved animals are members of society,
the police monitor citizens by their karma levels, and mind-numbing
drugs such as Forgettol and Acceptol are all the rage.
Metcalf has been shadowing Celeste, the wife of an affluent doctor.
Perhaps he's falling a little in love with her at the same time.
When the doctor turns up dead, our amiable investigator finds
himself caught in a crossfire between the boys from the
Inquisitor's Office and gangsters who operate out of the back room
of a bar called the Fickle Muse.
Mixing elements of sci-fi, noir, and mystery, this clever first
novel from the author of Motherless Brooklyn is a wry, funny, and
satiric look at all that the future may hold.
