Meet Juniper Song, an underemployed, twenty-something, Raymond-Chandler-loving, Korean-American woman from downtown LA.

When a friend asks Song to carry out surveillance on his father, she figures she doesn’t have anything better to do – plus she gets to indulge her Philip Marlowe fantasies. But barely half a day into playing private eye, someone has knocked her unconscious and left a dead body in the truck of her car…

The first in a series, this gripping literary thriller has fast become a Daunt Books Summertown favourite.
