D. Robb’s 21st Century New York police lieutenant, Eve Dallas… including all the other science fictional P.I.s and wizardly detectives.
It's all here, filled with full-color cover art and bibliographic detail, from the author of numerous Sherlock Holmes pastiches, the Griff & Fats and the Vic Powers series, the Augustus books, plus the Sherlock Holmes and Mystery, Crime & Noir Notebooks from Stark House, not to mention the quarterly magazine Paperback Parade—writer, editor & publisher Gary Lovisi!
