Catchee Monkey
CATCHEE MONKEY: A REX & EDDIE MYSTERY
Two Detectives. One Murder. No Clue.
When Eddie is persuaded to start a detective agency with his friend Rex, he hopes to set up a respectable business, while Rex sees it as a chance to play out his noir fantasies.
The inexperienced sleuths stumble upon a murder mystery that puts them head-to-head with gangsters, assassins, and corrupt coppers. Outnumbered, outgunned and outwitted, they have to solve their case before it kills them, or before they end up killing each other.
The first in the Rex & Eddie Mysteries series, Catchee Monkey is a comedy-mystery — or daft noir— that lovingly mashes the pulp detective novel with a British twist.
