Stalking The Unicorn by Mike Resnik
Think 1950's film noir and mix with Gary Larson's Farside. Resnik takes you on a trip though the world, as he puts it, just out of the couner of your eyesight. I picked this book up at the libray on a lark. I know i shouldnt judge a book by its cover but, this one intreged me. A picture of a bogart type, you know trench coat and fidora, in the middle of Times Squares with all sorts of odd cretures and odd things around him. The story begins with a elf with a problem, the unicorn he was guarding has been stolen and he needs help. So he gets the only detective not busy on New Years Eve, John J. Malory. He has until sunrise to find it or his client is going to be killed. I had alot of fun reading this book and look forward to reading the seires. Wickly funny in a twisted way and very interesting characters that you grow to like and hate some too. RATING 4 of 5
