Unique crimes call for unique detectives When a good friend's beloved granddaughter is murdered, our ambisexual downsized-social-worker and her cat, Bunnywit, are enlisted to help solve the case. For the police, Madeline is just one more dead sex worker - so it is down to our hero and her friends to uncover what happened to her (though not the cat. The cat mainly sulks.) With humour, sarcasm and a good dose of irony, our protagonist swaggers through the mean streets of a Canadian city tracking down leads to get the bad guy. Aided by a love of mystery fiction the gang dives deep into the underbelly of city life. What at first seems an average street killing is actually the surface of a grandiose and glittering set of criminal schemes...

"Think Patricia Highsmith on helium" - Sunday Times Crime Club

"When you title your book after an Ogden Nash poem it's had better be funny, fortunately this is. The observations on human nature, prejudice, closed minds and gender issues are wicked, sharp and thought provoking... The characters are compelling, fresh and entertaining, particularly Dorsey's ambisexual proto-detective, the feisty, sarcastic and endearing lead. Bunuel and Dorothy B Hughes meets Malcolm Pryce. Quick fire plotting, snappy dialogue and a love of hardboiled crime make this really entertaining" - Crime Time

"[An] exceptional series launch from SF author Dorsey, a droll mix of mystery and metafiction...Fans of unconventional mysteries will be richly rewarded" - Publishers Weekly, starred review
