Ex-cop Lyle Deming is on edge. That’s been his default setting for years, but his new job, Death in Nostalgia City 3-D Web-readydriving a cab in a theme park, promises to cure his chronic anxieties. Nostalgia City is the ultimate resort for anyone who wants to visit the past. A meticulous recreation of an entire small town from the early 1970s, it’s complete with period cars, music, clothes, hair styles, shops, restaurants, hotels–the works.
The relaxed, theme-park atmosphere is just what Lyle needs to relax and shed his reputation as a nut job. But when rides are sabotaged and tourists killed, the park founder, billionaire “Max” Maxwell, drafts Lyle into investigating—unofficially. As the violence escalates and employees get rattled, Lyle gets help. Kate Sorensen, the park’s PR director–and a former college basketball player with lots of moxie–becomes another incognito investigator. But she’s 6’ 2½” and drop-dead gorgeous. So much for incognito.
Together, Lyle and Kate must unravel a conspiracy of corporate greed and murder.
