What's in A Name - Livres de poche

Big Bob Zapolska, small-time detective that he is, doesn't like dogs. Little Dogs. Big Dogs. Any kind of dog. So what's he doing trying to locate a savage dog that chewed up a child? Don't ask.The Z-man doesn't like working occult cases, either. And yet, finds himself chasing a monster that a superstitious person might think was a werewolf.Since irrationality wipes out a sane man's ability to predict a criminal's behavior, Z is particularly leery of maniacs, especially the kind who get their kicks out of carving up their victims. You guessed it! He's been suckered into tracking down just such a madman.Drug dealers? Not Z's favorite people.Nor are dwarfs who speak to the spirits of the dead.As for having to associate with zombies, it has rarely brightened any P.I.'s day to run into one of those.Never forgetting his daily problems with: his feral cat, Saint Fluffy of the Ducts-his long-time girl, Susan Halliwell-and his sometimes roll in the hay, Jamie Stewart; three women in his life who continue to be bumps in the Z-man's road.There are days-too many of them lately-when it's best to stay in bed!
