An UrbanFantasy book by Vincent Holland-Keen, telling a story of a peculiar private detective - for example, he found [[Main/ButterflyOfDoom that butterfly which started the hurricane]] that hit the town last week. Thomas Locke can find anything, the only problem is what's going to happen once he does. And in a world where people reincarnate as kitchen appliances, old ladies roam the city iin search of wrongs to be set right and where life insurance '''actually''' guarantees you a new life, the consequences of your actions can be hard to determine. It's not exactly a DetectiveDrama - while there's a detective and sometimes an investigation, the case being solved is not always the actual mystery.

This book is a mix of [[Creator/NeilGaiman Neil Gaiman]]'s style of presentation and [[Creator/DouglasAdams Douglas Adams]]' humour and absurd. It skirts pretty close to black comedy genre, without getting too desperate - if anything it's simply funny, without being too optimistic about the world.
