Twisted Circles Turning: In which noir detective, Phillip Messenger, discovers the real reason his author writes about him.

Sometimes it's a short story that plays off of a Hitchcock movie classic, sometimes a noir novella like Twisted Circles Turning or Downward Facing Dog, in which a mystery story writer uncovers surprising clues about his own life while working on the story of a detective who practices yoga and rides an motorcycle. Whatever it may be, things are not always what they seem.
