***Long-listed in the 2026 Whistler Independent Book Awards***
Trent is a slacker with no rudder and no money, but when his devil-may-care ways land him in hot water with an actual devil, he finds a new purpose: to become the best-damned detective on this side of hell.
As long as it’s not too hard.
Lacking resources and clues, Trent faces an underworld rife with obstacles: government agents, religious zealots, a zombie-infested pawnshop, and a rock star devil called Lightbringer.
Besides a bit of luck, Trent’s sole ally in his quest is the enigmatic clairvoyant, Jane, who only agrees to aid him after he employs a mix of bribery and charm. Well, mostly bribery.
As the clues pile up, it becomes obvious (even to Trent) that there is more at stake than just some occult shenanigans. Now, the fate of the world may rely on this ultimate man-child finally growing up.
“Things have just begun and I already realize I am going to make the world’s sh!&$est detective. I play video games. I watch movies. I masturbate. At least one could say I have good hand-eye coordination and a firm grip on things.”
Trent: the Devil’s Detective is the bastard, butt-baby born from an unholy union of The Big Lebowski and Constantine. Fans of the dark, witty humour of the John Dies at the End series will love this book.
