Summary:
Jacob Rigoleta soon-to-be former assistant to a wealthy art collectorlooks up from his seat at an auction to see his mother, the former head librarian at the Halifax Free Library, walking almost casually up the aisle. Before a stunned audience, she flings an open jar of black ink at master photographer Robert Capas Death on a Leipzig Balcony. Whats more, Jacobs police detective fiancée, Martha Crauchet, is assigned to the ensuing interrogation.
In My Darling Detective, Howard Norman delivers a fond nod to classic noir, as Jacobs understanding of the man he has always assumed to be his father unravels against the darker truth of Robert Emil, a Halifax police officer suspected but never convicted of murdering two Jewish residents during the shocking upswing of anti-Semitism in 1945.
The denouement, involving a dire shootout and an emergency deliverythe second Rigolet to be born in the Halifax Free Libraryis Norman at his provocative, uncannily moving best.
