Book description
There is nothing unusual about the barrel-organ man who walks into
private detective Louie Knight's office. Apart from the fact that he
has lost his memory. And his monkey is a former astronaut. And he is
carrying a suitcase that he is too terrified to open. And he wants a
murder investigated. The only thing unusual about the murder is that
it took place a hundred years ago. And needs solving by the following
week. Louie is too smart to take on such a case but also too broke to
turn it down. Soon he is lost in a labyrinth of intrigue and terror,
tormented at every turn by a gallery of mad nuns, gangsters and waifs,
and haunted by the loss of his girlfriend, Myfanwy, who has
disappeared after being fed drugged raspberry ripple …
