Patrick Hinkle's mom is dead. Murdered. And maybe he could find her killer if his brain weren't for s---. Or if her whole stupid life wasn't as big a mystery to him as her death? If he understood her last words. If he knew who his dad was! If he knew what it all had to do with an obscure British sci-fi show from the 1980s... Before he can solve his mom's murder, Patrick Hinkle will have to solve her . And to do that? He'll have to solve himself. A Dark Hole Darkly is postmodern comic mystery novel about family, fandom, who we are & who gets to write the endings to our stories.
