About This Book

A seasoned private detective narrates a series of near-fatal accidents at home—drained brake fluid, a failing ladder pulley, and gas jets left on—and grows convinced his wife and teenage son intend to kill him. He confronts them and later an odd client, pursuing explanations that shift the tone between comic suspicion and noir-tinged investigation. The tightly focused first-person account examines domestic mistrust, the detective's professional instincts, and how ordinary household routines can be reinterpreted as threats, building to a reveal that reframes the apparent conspiracies.
