I think some of the critics are wrong about this book. Kirkus, for example, said there were too many plot holes in the murders and said the author used too much humor. But this was a fantasy. Yes, the first part of the book, until Cliff gets to McMast ...more |

“Whose idea was it to replace the chrome knobs and push buttons on car radios with 'touch screens'?”
― Death in Nostalgia City
― Death in Nostalgia City
“North of Las Vegas, desert and mountainous scrub land stretches for hundreds of miles. The earth still bears the scars from above-ground nuclear bomb tests at Yucca Flats, the flash of mushroom clouds visible from the early Las Vegas casinos. Secret tests of another sort take place in Area 51, the Air Force’s clandestine base and sprawling testing facility shrouded in mystery and baked by an unrelenting sun. In the 450 miles between Vegas and Reno, ghost towns slowly crumble, Great Basin rattlesnakes hunt for rodents, and US Highway 95 stretches up and down the arid landscape, connecting the state’s only two metropolitan areas.”

“The brown numbered doors [in the flophouse hallway] stood like upended coffins on each side, bathed in the static red flames of the fire-exit bulbs that dotted the ceiling at intervals.”
