{"product_id":"the-donut-legion-a-novel","title":"The Donut Legion: A Novel","description":"In this standalone, Edgar-award winning author, Joe R. Lansdale, whom \"few can match\" (Booklist) beams a light on an East Texas town where a QAnon-style, evangelist cult is brewing trouble.\n\nCharlie Garner has a bad feeling. His ex-wife, Meg, has been missing for over a week and one quick peek into her home shows all her possessions packed up in boxes. Neighbors claim she’s running from bill collectors, but Charlie suspects something more sinister is afoot. Meg was last seen working at the local donut shop, a business run by a shadow group most refer to as ‘The Saucer People’; a space-age, evangelist cult who believe their compound to be the site of an extraterrestrial Second Coming.\n\nAlong with his brother, Felix, and beautiful, randy journalist Amelia “Scrappy” Moon, Charlie uncovers strange and frightening details about the compound (read: a massive, doomsday storehouse of weapons, a leashed chimpanzee!) When the body of their key informer is found dead with his arms ripped out of their sockets, Charlie knows he’s in danger but remains dogged in his quest to rescue Meg.\n\nBrimming with colorful characters and Lansdale’s characteristic bounce, this rollicking crime novel examines the insidious rise of fringe groups and those under their sway with black comedy and glints of pathos.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0316540684\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0316540684.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lansdale, Joe R.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
