Who stops cartoons when they turn criminal? MANDRILL P.I., that's who!
Shapeshifting aliens have invaded Toonsville. As these tentacled creatures begin secretly murdering people and swapping them with undercover doppelgängers, it quickly becomes impossible to know whom to trust. They're replacing individuals so fast that the city is nearly conquered before MANDRILL P.I. discovers there is a problem! And now, this hardboiled, hard-drinking private detective must stop them before it's too late.
Can he overcome his demons quickly enough to put an end to the alien invasion? Or is Toonsville and everyone for whom he cares doomed to be conquered and killed?
---- If you enjoy Noir Urban Fantasy, Hellboy, Cartoons, or Who Framed Roger Rabbit, then this is the book for you. ----- Hellboy meets True Detective meets Who Framed Roger Rabbit in this hardboiled noir tale set in a cartoon metropolis.
- If you're a fan of movies like They Live, The Thing, or Invasion of the Body Snatchers, then you'll love this novel.
- In this love letter to hardboiled detective stories and 80s/90s cartoons, the darker elements of noir are juxtaposed with the violent slapstick of cartoons. Action strikes suddenly and is often over-the-top, and plot twists become increasingly outlandish as the entire city is thrust into danger
