Narcoleptic Southie PI Mark Genevich returns in this sequel to The Little Sleep from the Bram Stoker Awardโwinning author of Survivor Song and The Cabin at the End of the World.
Like most private eyes, Mark Genevich is something of a lone wolf. So group therapy isnโt a great fit. But his landlord/mother is convinced it will help his narcolepsyโignoring the fact that his disorder is a physical condition. Truth is, he has the time. Itโs been a year and a half since his last big case, or any case.
Itโs never a wise choice to go on a two-day bender with someone you meet in group therapy, but thereโs something about Gus that intrigues Genevich. And when his new drinking buddy asks him to protect a female friend whoโs being stalked, the PI finally has a case.ย
Unfortunately, heโs about to sleepwalk right into a very real nightmare. Before long heโs a suspect in an arson investigation and running afoul of everyone from the cops to a litigious lawyer and a bouncer with anger management issues. Genevich must keep his wits about himโalways a challenge for a detective prone to unexpected blackouts and hallucinationsโto solve the crime and live to show up at his next therapy session.
In Paul Tremblayโs follow-up to The Little Sleep, unreliable narrator Mark Genevich once again leads readers on a surreal and suspenseful wild ride through the mean streets of South Boston and his own dreamlike reality.
Paul Tremblay has won the Bram Stoker, British Fantasy, and Massachusetts Book Awards and is the New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie, The Beast You Are, The Pallbearers Club, Survivor Song, Growing Things and Other Stories, Disappearance at Devilโs Rock, A Head Full of Ghosts, and the crime novels The Little Sleep and No Sleep Till Wonderland.
