THE LITTLE SLEEP Mark Genevich Series, Book 1

With perfectly executed sardonic wit, narrator Pete Simonelli inhabits world-weary Mark Genevich, a South Boston private eye whose nightmarish new case may be the end of him. Genevich suffers from a severe form of narcolepsy that results in hallucinations and seizures. Simonelli communicates Genevich's panicked confusion when he wakes from a dream to discover that a new case has literally been dropped in his lap. With humor and spot-on pacing, Simonelli takes listeners through the twists and turns of the investigation, which is jam-packed with red herrings, missing fingers, and menacing goons. The case will keep listeners guessing, but it is Simonelli's nuanced portrayal of this street-smart and single-minded detective that leaves a lasting impression.
