Magical realism
Tim Twombly
Two novels. One detective who never learned to leave well enough alone.
The Dewey “Doc” Ruggles novels
One boy who wanted to be a detective. One man who still can’t leave well enough alone.
The same voice. The same impossible luck. Two books where the harrowing keeps turning hilarious, and love — against every reasonable objection — keeps showing up anyway.
The word is out
