Brown Harvest
by Jay RussellBrown Harvest is a 340 page unusual novel written by Jay Russell and first published in 2001. It was a finalist for the 2002 World Fantasy Award. The summary by Four Walls Eight Windows reads as follows: The Boy detective grows up, moves away, and comes home for a visit. His hometown's gone from American-as-apple-pie to darkest noir; his once innocent girlfriend has transformed into something both more and less than she once was; his father has become a bum on the skids - and that's the least of it. At once a parody and a tribute to childhood heroes, Brown Harvest turns and twists the fondest memories of characters familiar to anyone who grew up reading detective stories. Drawing on a tradition of borrowing from popular classics that stretches from Shakespeare on, Russell joyfully creates mayhem from colliding the worlds of hardboiled thrillers, "Young Adult" mysteries, and classic noir fiction.

It's an ugly job, but Fritz is not one to say no to easy money. That doesn't mean he won't take a case now and then. A caddy visits his office, asking Fritz to dig up dirt on the golf-nut who's dating his sister. Convinced by the caddy's suspiciously fat wad of bills, Fritz agrees to investigate, hoping for a chance to meet the girl.
