Mark Genevich is a South Boston PI with a little problem. He’s narcoleptic, and he suffers from the most severe symptoms, including hallucinations that wreak havoc on a guy who depends on real-life clues to make his living. Clients haven’t exactly been beating down the door when Mark meets Jennifer Times, who walks into his office with an outlandish story about a man who stole her fingers and leaves behind a couple of risque photos and many unanswered questions.
Wildly imaginative and with a pitch-perfect voice, The Little Sleep casts a fresh eye on the rigors of detective work and introduces a character who has a lot to prove–if only he can stay awake long enough to do it.
Mark Genevich is stuck in a rut: his narcolepsy isn’t improving, his private-detective business is barely scraping by, and his landlord mother is forcing him to attend group therapy sessions. Desperate for companionship, Mark goes on a two-day bender with a new acquaintance, Gus, who is slick and charismatic–and someone Mark knows very little about. When Gus asks Mark to protect a friend who is being stalked, Mark inexplicably finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation and soon becomes the target of the police, a sue-happy lawyer, and a violent local bouncer. Will Mark learn to trust himself in time to solve the crime–and in time to escape with his life?
