A Man Named Doll focuses on the improbably named Happy Doll, a fifty-something, down-on-his-luck, L.A. private eye.
A Man Named Doll is an affectionate, playful tribute to the hardboiled detective genre. Set in the present day, A Man Named Doll contains all of the noir genre’s classic elements: the fiercely independent investigator; a beautiful, mysterious woman; bad guys; an urban location; a complex plot; and existential underpinnings—whatever case Happy happens to be investigating, what concerns him most deeply is the meaning of life.
