description: Ace science fiction author Robert Sheckley also writes mysteries--most recently a wry and atmospheric series about Hob Draconian and the Alternative Detective Agency. This latest book in the series takes Hob through some evocative landscapes--Paris, London, Ibiza--in search of stolen art and a dangerous new drug. As usual, Sheckley is able to produce an array of chuckles and chills with the apparent effortlessness of a magician releasing pigeons from his empty hands. The equally diverting Draconian New York is available in paperback.
