Technology reshapes our world at warp speed.
Each day, what's considered retro creeps closer and closer to the chronological present. In THE MUSEUM OF SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCES (suspense novel, 340 pages), embattled retro-deejay "Jurassic Jim" Fleetwood seeks his spot in a throwaway world where everything gets crushed like a paper cup.
Nothing lasts, Jim knows. Unforgettable pop songs go…poof! Bands break up. Vinyl records vanish. And half the world can't recall last week. But transience turns deadly when a car soars into a moonlit river and parks on the bottom, its radio tuned to Jim's show. The police report an accident. Jim's cousin, an ex-felon and friend of the drowned woman, suspects otherwise and tries to prove it, but disappears. Loyalty should last, Jim knows, and vows to get him back. His quest leads to a latter-day Bonnie and Clyde (larcenists in love), a stolen gold record, and fraternal triplets (The Midnite Men)—incendiary pop singers who redefine personality disorders with a 4/4 beat. Revenge, redemption, riots, and rock 'n' roll are set to scorch the stage.
