'This is a very dark and very funny novel, which is, at once, a mystery, a defense of western civilization, a cartoon strip, an examination of how to live, a thriller, an attack on western civilization, a farce, and a study on the nature of evil. Imagine an urban Twin Peaks but with an intellectual center.
