Rock-music fans might know the author as the guy who creates those awesome album
covers for Radiohead. Readers might know him as the author of some wonderfully
wacky fiction, including this novel, which was originally published in a limited
edition more than 10 years ago (it was written to win a betthat Donwood couldn'
t write a 50,000-word pulp novel in 30 days). It tells the story of a private ey
e, Martin Valpolicella, who finds out that he's about to be framed for murdering
his lover, a married woman with a powerful husband.
