Quintus Hopper of Nevada - the novel and the research

Quintus Hopper of Nevada is published and it was a fantastic experience in many ways - among them was the research and what I've ended up doing with it.

“Behind him Stillwell, to the right the rusty tower of the Parachute Jump, to his left the Atlantis Diner … the scene of the crime. The shutters were still down. Soon enough Rebecca would open up and serve him his breakfast.”
