A hard-boiled detective needs a hard-boiled daughter to keep him honest—and alive. It’s 1961 in Houston, Texas. A native son who lost the White House but gained the Senate gavel is about to put the over-heated and under-air conditioned backwater at the center of President Kennedy’s moon mission. But success may depend on P.I. Harry Lark and his twelve-year-old daughter Dizzy.

They're finally here...

 

Remember those dour aliens from 1950s sci-fi flicks? They've had a makeover, and now they're back in SECOND COMING, a hilarious novel by D.B. Borton, author of the Cat Caliban and Gilda Liberty series. Taking aim at consumerism, the cult of celebrity, and the self-destructiveness of humanity, it nonetheless finds joy in the pleasures of basketball, dogs, and rock ‘n’ roll.
