Description

Leo Majors is America's sharpest private eye. But when his legendary instincts suddenly vanish, the only mystery he can't solve... is himself.

Set against the backroads and small towns of Central Illinois, No Clue blends mystery, humor, and classic detective storytelling in a world where nothing is quite as it seems. From smoke-filled taverns to small-town mansions, Leo bumps into hustlers, strangers, and schemers-each with their own secrets and motives. Everyone's got an angle. Everyone's hiding something. And Leo, for once, has no clue.

Fast, funny, and offbeat, No Clue reimagines the private eye novel for a new generation. It's short enough to read in one sitting, but sharp enough to stay with you long after.

A clever blend of comedy, mystery, and modern noir, this story will appeal to fans of private investigator fiction.

Critical Reviews

"No Clue retools the classic detective novel for a new era. All the wit and intricacy of Rian Johnson's mysteries, told with the offbeat humanity of the Coen Brothers and the literary depth of Michael Chabon. A mystery with bite, brains, and real heart."

- Hilary Eden, BookSnack

"No Clue expertly mixes film noir grit, Father John Misty wit, and Paul Thomas Anderson's sense of set and setting. Get ready, because Leo Majors is about to become your new favorite private eye. Just start reading. Once you get a few pages in, you'll realize you've fallen into a delicious rabbit hole of criminal twists and underworld turns. And someone better call Ryan Gosling, because he's totally gonna be playing Majors in a movie someday."

- Matt Ruby, comedian/writer

"There is a moment in No Clue in which Bjarke describes a character as "wearing a bathrobe, a button-up pajama top and snow boots. No pants." I felt that. Moreover I took it as a probable reflection of the author's turn to positive psychological projection, where Bjarke unconsciously attributes his desired qualities onto someone else, in this case fictional. No Clue is, more than the author's transparent fantasy of a world with no pants, a fantastic read from the jump-thoughtful, funny, and indeed filled with a penetrating magic."
