But life has other plans; including a bad case of identity theft and Detective Marlow Sharpe, a dame with a keen mind, kind heart, and a disinclination to reveal either. Unravel the secret of the other Felix to reveal how a mystery woman named Lily fits into the picture.
A comic Scene Noir about the power of obsessive love.
