Who Killed One the Gun? -- Gigi Little, Paperback

"THE MOST SURPRISING BOOK OF THE YEAR." --ROBIN SLOAN

A cozy noir for fans of Knives Out!, time loops, and old-time whodunits. Private eye One the Gun and his right-hand dame Two the True Blue are on the trail of the killer of Five the No Longer Alive. But as the numbers and the clues stack up, One the Gun realizes that today is exactly like yesterday--in fact maybe actually is yesterday--and he's pretty sure that at the end of yesterday he was shot to death. It's a dilly of a pickle as time continues to loop back on itself, one murder case becomes two, and the gumshoe races against the clock to smoke out his own killer--before that killer can stop his clock for keeps. Gigi Little's noir-soaked and delightfully surreal debut pays homage to the radio classics of the forties and fifties while investigating themes of greed, sexism, and the consequences of unchecked power.
