John Dee is a magician in Los Angeles. He is going insane. My Name Is Dee is a ruthless, tightly plotted noir that shies away from easy explanations and easily defined heroes and villains. It is a novel for the educated reader who enjoys noir action, intrigue and dark romance, for the child in all of us who wants to go on adventures, and for the fearful adult too who marvels at the terrifying scale of this universe. John Dee is a magician, but he's chiefly a Hollywood fixer: he makes things happen for the monied, including murder. In "moral compensation" for his services as a ruthless mercenary, Dee has sworn to himself to protect writers in Los Angeles from the dark energies of the city. One such writer, Sandra, his friend, is then kidnapped. The noir trajectory of Dee's search for the missing woman takes the reader on a journey from Los Angeles into the corridors of the human mind as Dee fights psychic battles with an autistic boy named Johnny, into the eternally complex relationship between "natural" and "artificial" intelligence as Dee learns to love his AI son Albert, and into xenopolitical relations between humans and Foo, the neighboring aliens in their UFOs, and further with Chaimougkos, a huge interdimensional alien presence whose will, aims and extent of influence appear vast. To rescue the girl and save his own life, Dee must come to understand himself, must reconcile with his AI son, must, dare I say it, battle interdimensional aliens. And he must choose what moral course his life is going to take: can he stand to still wear the grey hat?
