Noir - Christopher Moore - Trade Paperback - $7.50
"The absurdly outrageous, sarcastically satiric, and always entertaining New York Times
bestselling author Christopher Moore returns in finest madcap form with
this zany noir set on the mean streets of post-World War II San
Francisco, and featuring a diverse cast of characters, including a
hapless bartender; his Chinese sidekick; a doll with sharp angles and
dangerous curves; a tight-lipped Air Force general; a wisecracking waif;
Petey, a black mamba; and many more.
San Francisco. Summer, 1947. A dame walks into a saloon . . .
It’s not every afternoon that an enigmatic, comely blonde named
Stilton (like the cheese) walks into the scruffy gin joint where Sammy
“Two Toes” Tiffin tends bar. It’s love at first sight, but before Sammy
can make his move, an Air Force general named Remy arrives with some
urgent business. ’Cause when you need something done, Sammy is the guy
to go to; he’s got the connections on the street.
Meanwhile, a suspicious flying object has been spotted up the Pacific
coast in Washington State near Mount Rainer, followed by a mysterious
plane crash in a distant patch of desert in New Mexico that goes by the
name Roswell. But the real weirdness is happening on the streets of the
City by the Bay."
