Take a 1930s Hard-boiled detective, infuse him with the essence of Sherlock Holmes, add a touch of Doctor Who, occasionally drop him into The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy, and you have Dirk Diggins, Private Eye.

This anthology of 4 stories, one novella, and three short stories introduces us to the newest, most unusual detective you've ever met. The book is stylized after the great 'Yellowback', dimestore novels of the 1930s and 40s.

In this collection, you'll get the following stories.

Dirk Diggins, Private Eye
On a newly formed Human colony on Mars, a Martian woman hires Dirk to find out who's trying to kill her. Dirk goes undercover to reveal a truth that may not be as clear to ascertain.

Nothing is more misleading than an obvious fact
In 1930 NY, Dirk is investigating a series of deaths in connection to an apothecary shop, when a chance meeting with Sherlock Holmes forever sets a new course in his life.

Will everyone who has recently died, please move over to the left side of the room
1954 Pismo Beach. Dirk goes on vacation to see the headless dinosaur, when an obelisk appears on the beach, killing, but not-killing hundreds of people. Can Dirk uncover an alien plot before Humanity is doomed to a life of not quite living?

I'm sure that under other circumstances, this would be an otherwise perfectly normal day
Dirk is hired by an alien King and Queen to recover the crown jewel. But to get it, he finds himself in the middle of an interplanetary, time-convergent war. When he runs into Ming, another person looking for the jewel, they join forces to acquire it, and once again, Dirk's life choices are called into question.
