A famous 1940 radio star now reduced to pounding a typewriter, he little suspects that murders are about to take place in the Rose-Bud Bungalow Court units he owns. Tenant-landlord relations will never be the same.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003eAfter Mr. Wispell, his ham-operator tenant, dies from radio electrocution and another dead body is discovered in unit #7, a mysterious radio message from Outer Space guides Tirebiter on a quizzical quest for the murderers. From the Follies Burlesque and Strip City to the desolate shores of the Salton Sea, he and companion, Mrs. Music, follow a twisting trail of clues. Ever-tightening plot strands weave Marilyn Monroe, Tempest Storm, Lenny Bruce, and Sgt. Cummings of the LAPD Murder Squad into a crazy quilt of intrigue that only an alien abduction, the arrival of Venusians, and the First Church of Science Fiction can resolve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003eCan you stand the exhausting hilarity or the final shocking revelations?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003eIllustrated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003eAbout the author: David Ossman was a member of the Firesign Theatre, dubbed “the Beatles of Comedy” by the Library of Congress.
