આ ઇ-પુસ્તક વિશે
The acclaimed author of The Alternative Detective returns with another twisting tale that “combines ironic wit with suspense to remarkable effect” (John le Carré).
Though he was born in America, Hob Draconian feels much more at home on the sunny sands of Ibiza.

In need of some quick cash to save his home, Hob returns to the Alternative Detective Agency—and boy do they have a job for him.
Escorting an aspiring model from New York to Paris sounds like a delightfully easy way to make ten grand. If only he thought to ask why the gig pays so well. In short order, Hob finds himself embroiled in a criminal plot full of double crosses,

લેખક વિશે
Robert Sheckley was one of the funniest writers in the history of science fiction. He did screwball comedy, broad satire, and farce. He could also be deadly serious, but he was always entertaining and always had something pointed to say about our world using the skewed versions of reality he created in his fiction. Starting in the early 1950s, he was an amazingly prolific short story writer, with a lot of his stories appearing in Galaxy Magazine. He launched his novel-writing career with Immortality, Inc., which he followed up with a sequence of excellent books: The Status Civilization, Journey Beyond Tomorrow, and Mindswap. He continued to produce novels and short stories in abundance until his death in 2005.
