The Wooden Baby (The String City Mysteries) by Graham Edwards

THE WOODEN BABY

A distraught woman stumbles out of the rain into the shabby office of a Private Investigator. How could she leave her cottage in Suffolk earlier in the day and find herself in downtown USA? Meet “the name’s on the door” PI, the hardboiled Gumshoe with a sappy heart who is prepared to take on a case where a baby has seemingly turned into wood. His clients may all enter through the door, but they usually leave with him through one of the many exits he has discovered since he took over the business. Move over Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe. Make way for … Now what is his name?

A SINGLE QUOTE

"I’m hard to find. Don’t ask me why, it just works that way.
I don’t place ads. I’m not in the phone book. I don’t have a website and there isn’t a search engine that even knows I exist.
But I exist all right. And people who need my services badly enough, well, they track me down somehow.
Like the woman who burst into my office last night."
