Norbert Davis perfected the craft of mixing humor and the detective-noir genres and Holocaust House is one good example of it. Doan, the "hero" of this story is a small-time detective with a dry, sardonic wit, a huge Great Dane, and the ability to defend himself quite well if the situation demands it. In Holocaust House he is given the job of protecting a young heiress who is on the verge of inheriting millions.
