The Manual of Detection

An unlikely detective, armed with an umbrella and a handbook, must untangle a string of crimes committed in people’s dreams. In an unnamed city where it always rains, Charles Unwin is a humble file clerk working for a big detective agency. Everything he knows about solving mysteries comes from filing reports for Travis Sivart. When Sivart goes missing, and his supervisor turns up dead, Unwin is suddenly promoted to detective, a rank for which he lacks the skills and the stomach. His only guidance comes from his new sleepy assistant and from the pithy Manual of Detection.

“If you love fantastical stories that are unique and unusual, then this is the book for you. It’s a really fun and clever story with labyrinth twists. You won’t find another one like it. Not only that, the main character is not the typical detective, which makes this story even more enjoyable.”
