INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! 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 Rainier, 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. When one of Sammy's schemes
goes south and the Cheese mysteriously vanishes, Sammy is forced to
contend with his own dark secrets-and more than a few strange
goings on-if he wants to find his girl. Think Raymond Chandler
meets Damon Runyon with more than a dash of Bugs Bunny and the
Looney Tunes All Stars. It's all very, very Noir. It's all very,
very Christopher Moore.
