  • "John Dorn is a private investigator. Just like his father used to be. It says ?private inquiry agent? in John?s yellow pages ad because that?s what his old man called himself, back before his business folded, his wife left him and he drank himself to death. But John?s not going to end up like his father. He doesn?t have a wife, or much business. He doesn?t really drink, either. Not yet."

It says 'private inquiry agent' in John's yellow pages ad because that's what his old man called himself, back before his business folded, his wife left him and he drank himself to death. But John's not going to end up like his father. He doesn't have a wife, or much business. He doesn't really drink, either. Not yet... In each of these ten stories Zane Lovitt presents an intriguing investigation. At their centre is John Dorn, solving not so much crimes as funny human puzzles; but the crimes, and the criminals, are forever lurking nearby, taunting him from the city's cold underworld. It's his job to unravel the mystery, or right the wrong, or just do what the client has hired him to do. Somehow, though, there is a misstep at every turn, and John takes another small stumble towards his moment of personal truth. His midnight promise. Perhaps even his redemption."
