It's a bit hard to describe, but it's about a detective agency in an imaginary city where a clerk is promoted to detective and all he wants is his clerk job back, so he has to find the detective who has gone missing by filling in the holes in all of his old cases. It has awesome writing. I don't know if I'd really describe it as a mystery because the mystery elements weren't hard to solve...sort of a literary, surreal mystery, I guess.

Anyway, I just found this review (http://www.strangehorizons.com/reviews/2009/03/the_manual_of_d.shtml), which maybe will make more sense than mine.
