A trio of long stories starring J. Edgar Hoover, with Ty Cobb in a featured role.
It's all here in Luke Salisbury's latest book: From J. Edgar Hoover's favorite diner to Ty Cobb's favorite gun, with the Kennedy assassination in between. It's bigotry, baseball, and the murder mystery of the century. It's an author who brings a wonderful imagination and a wicked sense of irony to the panorama of 20th century history. A natural storyteller, Salisbury would be good company over a cup of coffee at the Eden Diner."

Marshall Brooks creates his own playful and offbeat art to spoof and pay homage to 'Pinky’s' eccentricities in this visually enchanting little gem of a book.
