WHITE RABBIT HOP

Summertime 1948, and Santa Teresa, California overflows with cold bourbon and hot neon. Billie Holiday floats from open windows, the Mills Brothers are headlining at the Montelindo Hotel, and the beach roller coaster never stops. The tourist crowd smells like sweat and suntan lotion. The sky is gold, the swimming pools are blue, but in dark alleys and behind closed doors, monsters do their worst.

Private eye Nate Crowe knows a little bit about loving when it's too late to be loved back. He learned a long time ago that some ghosts don't wear white, and some things can't be fixed.



Annie Kahlo is back. She has a gun in her purse, and she's ready to snap. White Rabbit Hop is a taxicab ride back to dancing on tiles, Roi-Tan cigars, gin on ice, east coast baseball on the radio, and mermaids with bubble hoses.
