April 2003. American troops advance on Baghdad.Two NYPD detectives, each marked by the attacks on the World Trade Center, search for a suspect who may be planning the next terrorist attack. On their first night together they make a bizarre discovery-a carefully stuffed human cadaver skin. Who did it? Why? What does it mean? As contemporary as the news from Iraq, True Detective is a profound meditation on truth, faith and meaning in the Age of Terror.Advance praise for True Detective:'...True Detective is a true delight. Though Marlowe, the NYPD narrator, claims his name refers to the Elizabethan playwright and sounds more like Chandler’s master of the mean streets, he is in truth Conrad’s Marlow, journeying into the heart of the darkness spreading from 9/11... a genre-bending thriller, a mystery, a love story, a literary pastiche filled with tricks and tropes, literary allusions and literal illusions, a parable on current events, a metaphysical novel in wolf’s clothing...[but] always a straight-ahead, fast-paced police procedural...all this combines to make the title resonate, for the true detective must solve the only true crime.' - Bink’s Books’, V18, No. 4'Provocative...wraps you up in its twists and turns...full of surprises...a great read.' - B. OKeeffe, Scottsdale'Hitchcock would have loved it!' - S. Thomasson, Detroit
