Book excerpt: "What would the world be like if the dinosaurs hadn't gone extinct? As this very funny book shows, for one thing, L.A. would be even weirder than it is now." --Dave Barry Vincent Rubio, a Los Angeles private investigator, is down on his luck: He's out of work. His car's been repossessed. His partner has died under mysterious circumstances. And his tail just won't stay put. Vincent is a dinosaur--a Velociraptor, to be precise. It seems the dinosaurs faked their extinction 65 million years ago and still roam the earth, disguised in convincing latex costumes that help them blend perfectly into human society. A heightened sense of smell allows the dinos to detect one another--Vincent's got an odor like a tasty Cuban cigar. When Vincent is called to investigate a two-bit case of arson at a hip dino nightclub, he discovers something much more sinister, which lures him back to New York City--the scene of his partner's death and a dangerous nexus of dinosaur and human intermingling. Will Vincent solve the mystery of his partner's death? Will a gorgeous blond chanteuse discover his true identity, jeopardizing both their lives? Will Vincent be able to conquer his dangerous addiction to basil, or will he wind up in Herba-holics Anonymous? Will he find true love, or resort to crumpled issues of Stegolicious? Somewhere between Jurassic Park and L.A. Confidential lies Eric Garcia's Anonymous Rex, one of the smartest, wittiest, and most entertaining debuts this side of the Ice Age.

His old Toyota took off like a rocket, nose first, doing a complete somersault as it careened off the mountain. He had the crazy image of moon, stars, black mountainside, rocks and water as the vehicle bounced and tumbled its way to wedge itself at a precarious angle where it rocked gently for a few seconds before continuing its downward journey, ending with a sudden jolt. The windscreen shattered millions of diamonds spraying his face and body. The last thing he saw, before he received a horrendous knock on the head, was the bonnet of his vehicle flying through the air. When Joel took the call on that sweltering morning, he had no idea what was in store. It’s been six years since Denise, the love of his life, dumped him. Now she’s missing and he’s been asked to find her. To top it off, someone is trying to kill him. In this true-to-life mystery, readers are shown the lives of a missing woman, members of the police, the good, the bad, the downright evil people Joel Lester must deal with, and friendships formed in true New South African style.
