Böcker av Tim Twombly

It's 1960. The Russians have nuclear missiles off the coast of Florida. The Sexual Revolution is about to send the world spinning. Intellectuals are predicting the death of God. All that aside, fifteen-year-old Dewey "Doc" Ruggles has real challenges to deal with. He needs to find a babysitter for his little sister, Snowball, so he'll have time to solve his hometown's most chilling cold-case murder. It's his chance to be a local hero and attract evil's opposite: true love. A chance sighting from atop a Catholic church is the break he needs. Knowing what he knows now, there's no turning back. If he wants to become a bonafide detective, he'll need to outwit Junior Mentz, the town's psychotic bully, stop Cuban communists out to assassinate a future US president, and solve the riddle of a mysterious nun who's out to pull off a con of Biblical proportion. Then again, maybe he's imagining the whole thing. Sister Theresa doesn't think so. The problem is she may not be the best expert on reality. According to a local legend, she may already be dead.
