Description
Lionel Essrog, a young man with Tourette's syndrome, is hired by Frank Minna to join a group of orphaned boys from St Vincent's Home for Boys. As part of the Minna Men, a detective-agency-cum-limoservice, Lionel and his colleagues are tasked with solving cases and providing transportation services. When Frank Minna is murdered, Lionel must take on the role of a real detective to uncover the truth. With his unique condition and limited social skills, Lionel's investigation becomes a complex web of clues, suspects, and personal secrets. This gripping novel explores themes of identity, community, and the power of human connection in the face of adversity.
