Product Description:

Book Description:
Julius Katz is a brilliant eccentric detective, and like another famous brilliant eccentric detective, he has a sidekick named Archie—although in this case Archie isn’t flesh and blood but a two-inch rectangular piece of advanced technology complete with a self-learning neuron network. With his experience and personality programmed using all of the important private eye novels of the 20th century, Archie has the heart and soul of a hardboiled PI.
‘Julius Katz’ is a charming and humor-filled mystery which merges the hardboiled and classic English-style mystery genres, and has delighted readers since it was first published in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. It has received a Readers’ Choice Award from Ellery Queen’s readers and a 2010 Derringer for best novelette by the Short Mystery Fiction Society.
This version contains a scene that was originally cut from the novella that appeared in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine due to space considerations.
'Julius Katz' is approximately 19,000 words long.

"With graphic imagery and exciting twists, this novel is impossible to put down and has a surprising ending. A brilliant read" - Aberdeen Press & Journal
