Description
Meet Professor Raymond Marylowe—flamboyant theoretical physicist and self-proclaimed “world’s greatest private detective.” Armed with absurd logic and bizarre applications of physics, he can theorize anyone into guilt—no matter how innocent they are. Wrong and humiliated often, uncertain never.
Follow him on a globe-trotting adventure through seven cases, as he attempts to tackle impossible crimes, outwit phantom thieves, duel secret spies, uncover mythic treasures—and face his most baffling mystery yet: romance, with a woman as much of a chaotic wildcard as he is.
But in every shadow lurks his sworn nemesis, the worst nightmare of every detective: an elite criminal defense attorney, who vows to defend all criminals Professor Marylowe accuses, no matter how guilty…
Advance Praise
“… Starts like a quirky children’s story but ends as a genre-defining masterpiece… Like Don Quixote ended the era of chivalry novels, The Physicist Detective will mark a turning point for detective fiction.”
— Universitas
“The smartest dumb book ever written.”
— Nicholas Newman, Writer
“It’s the rare kind of comedy that raises the stakes instead of deflating them. No tragic undertone, no ironic detachment—just pure, joyful storytelling that somehow carries more depth than most ‘serious’ works of fiction… This book is a miracle, pure and simple.”
— The Daily Reporter
