A Double Barreled Detective Story is a short story/novelette. The story is a delightful spoof of the mystery genre, then in its infancy, introducing the reader to Sherlock Holmes as he has never been seen before or since. Far from his usual elegant London haunts, the great detective is caught up in a melodramatic murder mystery of love, betrayal, and vengeance in a rough California mining town.

Новый роман современного русскоязычного украинского писателя, местами игровой, местами пугающе пророческий, удачно комбинирует сюжетную увлекательность беллетристики и метафорику высокой литературы. Действие происходит в конце 1980-х годов в Киеве, точнее, в одном из его районов, Парке «Победа». Где-то далеко идет афганская война, коррумпированная власть уже не справляется с управлением, страна скоро рассыплется, но пока каштаны цветут, жители южной столицы шутят и влюбляются, празднуют дни рождения и проводы в армию, устраивают жизнь и достают по блату то, чего, как им кажется, не хватает для счастья. Роман еще в рукописи попал в лонг-лист премии «Национальный бестселлер» и в финал Русской премии.
