A wickedly comic crime novel, A Parade of Cockeyed Creatures: Or Did Someone Murder Our Wandering Boy? sits squarely in the tradition of campy, satirical mystery writing that George Baxt mastered throughout his career. The story chronicles a murder investigation set against a backdrop of outlandish characters — a rogues' gallery of eccentrics, social misfits, and bohemian personalities drawn together by the suspicious disappearance and possible death of a young man. Baxt's razor-sharp wit and flair for the absurd infuse every chapter, turning the whodunit formula on its head with gleeful irreverence. The result is a darkly humorous, vividly populated romp through the criminal and the countercultural, written with the assured hand of an author who never took the genre — or himself — too seriously.
