About This Book

A private investigator accepts an odd assignment from an alien tourist whose wife has refused to re-transmigrate from an Earth body. Endowed with the ability to slip into the husbands of several honeymoon brides, he inhabits one male persona after another while searching for the missing spouse, encountering comic misadventures, shifting points of view, and romantic complications. The tale mixes pulp-detective tropes with science-fiction body-swapping, using brisk, witty episodes to probe identity, desire, and the absurdities of courtship and marriage.
