From the Publisher Edgar Award-winning author - "This tongue-in-cheek whodunit marks the long overdue second coming of a gifted novelist." - starred Publishers Weekly review. Self-proclaimed movie geek and divorced thirysomething Roy Milano lives alone in a cramped Manhattan apartment, toiling as a freelancer to make ends meet. Trivial Man, Roy’s self-published newsletter, is filled with tidbits of little-known lore for the delight of other fringe-dwelling cinemaphiles. It’s a tantalizing phone call from such a kindred spirit that thrusts Roy headlong into his waking noir nightmare.
