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. 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.
Characters: 55. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Noir Mystery.
