Overview

"In these five hard-bitten tales, PI Hayden Fuller searches for a missing girl while tangling with a sex ring; mixes it up with N'oublie jamais, while dealing with a domestic abuse case; investigates his father's murder and tumbles onto a cult and a leader who wants to ""dismantle the universe""; dukes it out with Nazis in Bannerville, Pop 1201, and their ""triumph of redemption"" featuring mechanical dragons; and stumbles through a demi-monde of underground filmmakers while busting up a sex trafficking ring. Fuller, with his fists and snub-nosed .38, unpacks a host of lies as each narrative builds to a shock ending. His is a pyrrhic journey, for in the dark, Fuller finds something more than night."
