San Francisco. Summer months, 1947..READING MORE on the subject of Noir: A Book A dame strolls right into a saloon . . .
It’s not every afternoon that an enigmatic, comely blonde named Stilton (just like the parmesan cheese) walks in to the scruffy gin joint where Sammy ‘Two Feet’ Tiffin tends pub. It’s love at first sight, but before Sammy can make his move, an Atmosphere Force general called Remy gets there with some urgent business. ‘Trigger when you need something done, Sammy may be the guy to visit; he’s got the cable connections on the street.
In the meantime, a suspicious flying object has been spotted up the Pacific coastline in Washington State close to Mount Rainer, followed by a mysterious aircraft crash inside a distant patch of desert in New Mexico that goes by the name Roswell. But the real weirdness is going on on the roads of the City with the Bay.
When one of Sammy’s schemes moves south and the Cheese mysteriously vanishes, Sammy is forced to cope with his own dark secrets-and more than a few strange goings on-if he wants to find his woman.
