Description

With his younger sister Caroline and fat friend Fenton at his side, the prodigious Billy Argo, boy detective, solves crimes and cracks capers in his New Jersey hometown. But then the kids begin to grow up: Caroline gets depressed and commits suicide, and Billy checks himself into the St. Vitus Hospital for the Mentally Ill. At 30, Billy leaves the hospital, and takes a job in telemarketing--he's become an average shell of his once extraordinary self. But there are still villains on the loose, and perhaps Billy has it in him to solve one more case: the mystery of his sister's death, the sinister roots of his own sadness. Joe Meno gives the detective genre a tragic twist and the postmodern result is clever, unexpected, and heartbreaking.
