Publisher Comments:

"Hilarious, a literary Hellzapoppin."-Matt Thorne

Dickens &Clot Investigations Ltd, a detective agency in a waterlogged Madrid, has a couple of unusual specialities: helping distraught authors in search of characters who've quit the page and assumed a life of their own, and taking on Manex Chopeitia, legendary Big Brother of a mighty genetic-engineering company. Carlos Clot-a paunchy, alcoholic private eye gumshoes his way around a drug- and drink-sodden metropolis in a personal quest to put both real'and fictional'people in their place.

Born in Northern Spain in 1963, Rafael Reigstudied philosophy and humanities in Madrid and later in New York. He lives in Madrid.
