Books like Anonymous Rex by Eric Garcia


Private investigator Vincent Rubio, a velociraptor who has adopted a human identity through a convincing latex costume, faces a string of personal setbacks—including a job loss, car repossession, and a ban from The Council—while his partner dies under mysterious circumstances. When Rubio is tasked with investigating a seemingly trivial case of arson at a hip dinosaur nightclub, he uncovers a much darker plot that forces him back to New York City, the scene of his partner’s death. Amid the intrigue of dinosaur‑human coexistence, the investigation also tests Rubio’s battle with an addiction to basil and a potential romantic entanglement with a blonde chanteuse who may expose his true identity.
