Shadow Ticket by Thomas Pynchon
Set in 1932, Shadow Ticket follows Hicks McTaggart, a one-time strikebreaker turned private investigator hired to find a runaway heiress. What begins as a routine missing-person case becomes an international, often comic, odyssey—across an ocean and into Europe—dragging Hicks into political intrigue, criminal elements, swing‑era nightlife and eccentric characters as he tries to find the woman and make his way back home.
