Mystery/caper novel about a detective who must prove his own innocence when he is framed for murder by his commanding officer.
From the Publisher
Touching on the themes of due process and the limits of anarchy, this novel gives you a clever plot, brilliant, laugh-out-loud dialogue, delightful, sharply-drawn characters, and a story that grabs you immediately and rushes you through a series of fast-moving events that happen so fast, you're not even conscious that you're reading a book. This short novel is a sparkling jewel of contemporary light-romanticism, strong on story, with just enough sprinkle of thematic depth-garlic!-to give the story a nice after-taste. Those of you who have read F.M. Lavin's short stories have first-hand experience with the kind of clever plot ideas he creates. If you remember his stories and have enjoyed them in the past, you should know that Garlic is the best thing he has ever written.
