Henry Bloomburg is a private investigator created by struggling writer Martin Tripp. With Martin pulling the strings, Henry has solved many bizarre cases, but one remains The Fly Guy – a strange man who slips unseen through the streets in an endless pursuit of the dead. Once Henry is on the trail of The Fly Guy, Martin discovers he no longer has the power to turn Henry’s path. Even as Martin establishes a predictable rhythm in his real life, his obsession with Henry discovering The Fly Guy’s identity in his created world threatens to dismantle everything he is.
I loved reading this book. It definitely kept me guessing all the way through. If you're looking for a tale with twists, turns and dark hidden passageways then this is absolutely for you. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone that likes a good thriller.
This book is simply fantastic. Colum's writing hooks you from the very first page and the level of detail in every scene is gorgeous. You want to know more. You want to understand the mysterious and bizarre Martin Tripp. And how does Henry Bloomburg fit into the story? Part of the fun of reading this book is trying to determine reality from Martin's fictional world.
