I will only say that this is a deeply, deeply weird book. It certainly has noir features: the power structure is deeply corrupt, the hero's inquiries lead to some pointless deaths of innocents, and the plot is incredibly twisted. There are also many absurd touches: the client is the Queen of Denmark, the detective's father is a former cop who now runs a donkey ride concession, and one of the recurring villains is the detective's former gym (games) teacher.If your sense of black humor is well-developed, you may well enjoy this one.
