Product Description
Robert Coover, one of America's pioneering postmodernists, has turned the classic detective story inside out. You are Philip M. Noir, Private Investigator. A mysterious young widow hires you to find her husband's killer--if he was killed. Then your client is murdered--if she was your client. Here Coover is at the top of his form; and Noir is a true page-turner--wry, absurd, and desolate.

"Coover adds his dazzling two bits to the deconstructionist turf Paul Auster prowled in The New York Trilogy." --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"[A] brilliant parody of noir and hardboiled fiction and film." --Michael Lipkin, New York Journal of Books
