Anonymous Rex is a fantasy twist on a hard-boiled private-eye yarn. In Garcia's world, dinosaurs live among us hidden in human drag. His protagonist is a velociraptor PI.

If your eyes are now glazed over, this is not a book for you. If you are willing to suspend your disbelief this far, you may find Garcia's novel entertaining. I fall somewhere in the middle — moderately amused but not enough to fully recommend this novel.
