Whatβs more, mailboxes are being stuffed with shockingly violent hate letters, even as a mysterious ailment takes the lives of perfectly healthy people. Not to mention the strange lights flashing in the depths of the forestβ¦<P>With a sparkling range of characters who hurtle through an intricate and often hilarious journey, Michael Malone offers a sublime joyride in his classic novel. <P>About the Author: Michael Malone is the author of nine novels, one collection of short stories and two works of nonfiction.
