New York Times Bestseller “Smart and funny and all sorts of
raunchy in the best way.” — San Francisco Chronicle
Repeat New York Times bestselling author Christopher
Moore returns to the mean streets of San Francisco in this
outrageous follow-up to his madcap novel Noir. San Francisco,
1947. Bartender Sammy “Two Toes” Tiffin and the rest of the
Cookie’s Coffee Irregulars—a ragtag bunch of working mugs last
seen in Noir—are on the hustle: they’re trying to open a
driving school; shanghai an abusive Swedish stevedore; get Mable,
the local madam, and her girls to a Christmas party at the State
Hospital without alerting the overzealous head of the S.F.P.D. vice
squad; all while Sammy’s girlfriend, Stilton (a.k.a. the Cheese),
and her “Wendy the Welder” gal pals are using their wartime
shipbuilding skills on a secret project that might be attracting
the attention of some government Men in Black. And, oh yeah,
someone is murdering the city’s drag kings and club owner Jimmy
Vasco is sure she’s next on the list and wants Sammy to find the
killer. Meanwhile, Eddie “Moo Shoes” Shu has been summoned by
his Uncle Ho to help save his opium den from Squid Kid Tang, a
vicious gangster who is determined to retrieve a priceless relic:
an ancient statue of the powerful Rain Dragon that Ho stole from
one of the fighting tongs forty years earlier. And if Eddie blows
it, he just might call down the wrath of that powerful magical
creature on all of Fog City. Strap yourselves in for a bit of the
old razzmatazz, ladies and gentlemen. It’s Christopher Moore
time.
