I havent enjoyed a cross-genre detective story this much since Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
The Fractured Publisher
The story is a true page-turner.
Book Description
"Chicago, 1929. There are a thousand stories in the naked city; and when you're a dwarf at four-foot-one, they all look that much taller." It is The Era of Prohibition, where crime runs rampant in the streets and a city divided into territories serves as the ultimate prize. Somewhere in this Underworld of Chicago, an enchanted weapon holds the key to ending The Gangland Wars. In the wake of The St. Valentine's Day Massacre, only one is man enough to stand up against Al Capone... ...a four-foot-one dwarf named Billibub Baddings.

Book Description: It is The Era of Prohibition, where crime
runs rampant in the streets and a city divided into territories serves
as the ultimate prize. Somewhere in this Underworld of Chicago, an
enchanted weapon holds the key to ending The Gangland Wars. In the wake
of The St. Valentineᄑs Day Massacre, only one is man enough to stand up

From the imagination of award-nominated author Tee Morris, co-author of
MOREVI: The Chronicles of Rafe & Askana and contributing author to The
Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy, comes "The Lord of the Rings,
written by Mickey Spillane," a spoof of both the Fantasy and Mystery
genres featuring a tough-talking, axe-wielding private eye facing the
toughest case in his short career - The Case of the Singing Sword.
FROM THE CRITICS
Joe Murphy
BILLIBUB BADDINGS AND THE CASE OF THE SINGING SWORD may throw the
reader for a loop at first if he doesn't know what to expect.ᄑTee
thoroughly lampoons both the fantasy and hard-boiled detective genres
while still paying close attention to good storytelling, and thus
delivers an engaging and satisfying, if somewhat whimsical and unusual,
story for the reader.
Many genre authors like to mix the genres together to create a new
flavor to their stories.ᄑThis is the first time I've seen fantasy and
mystery blended quite in this fashion.ᄑIt makes for fantastic dialogue
and laugh-out-loud funny narrative.
