No Sleep Till Wonderland

By Paul Tremblay

Book Overview

Mark Genevich, narcoleptic detective, is caught between friends and a police investigation in this wickedly riveting PI novel with a twist--a follow-up to The Little Sleep Mark Genevich is stuck in a rut: his narcolepsy isn't improving, his private-detective business is barely scraping by, and his landlord mother is forcing him to attend group therapy sessions. Desperate for companionship, Mark goes on a two-day bender with a new acquaintance, Gus, who is slick and charismatic--and someone Mark knows very little about. When Gus asks Mark to protect a friend who is being stalked, Mark inexplicably finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation and soon becomes the target of the police, a sue-happy lawyer, and a violent local bouncer. Will Mark learn to trust himself in time to solve the crime--and in time to escape with his life? Written with the same "witty voice that doesn't let go"* that has won Paul Tremblay so many fans, No Sleep Till Wonderland features a memorable detective whose only hope for reconciling with his difficult past is to keep moving--asleep or awake--toward an uncertain future. * Library Journal , starred review for The Little Sleep

Wonderful follow-up

The bar was set high by Tremblay's first release, The Little Sleep. However, in this follow-up to The Little Sleep, Tremblay delivers a powerful story featuring the unique narcoleptic detective, Mark Genevich. While Tremblay's wit is displayed throughout this novel, the mood and atmosphere is much darker than The Little Sleep. The reader is plunged into Genevich's world, often wondering what is reality and what is dreaming. Genevich becomes involved in a police investigation of an arson and death, becoming a suspect himself. As Genevich delves deeper into the mystery, the line between dream and reality becomes more blurred. His search for answers leads Genevich down a very dangerous path. Does he have the ability to discover the truth? Can he handle that truth? You won't be disappointed by this book. Tremblay is truly at the top of his game, and you would be missing a gem of a story if you miss out on this one.
