Six feet tall and weighing only twenty-two pounds, T.T. Mann is the perfect protagonist for this light-hearted take on the detective genre. Unlike the hard-boiled private investigators of noir detective fiction, T.T. is a gentle fellow who is shy with women, but he's not without resources, notably his excellent martial arts skills. With help from his girlfriend Rosie and his brother Flat Mann, T.T. deals entertainingly with three daunting cases that arise in San Francisco in 1955. The resulting stories are a blend of fantasy (after all, T.T. is so thin he can slip under doors) and a historically accurate depiction of San Francisco in the mid-1950s.
