Goodfellas, Fargo or The Andy Griffith Show?
Which is your favorite? Wait, now you don't have to choose. For a limited time, you can have them all wrapped up in one incredible novel!
The Angels of Valley Junction will give you it all in this fish out of water tale. The pages are full of colorful 50's mobsters and even more colorful small town, backwoods characters.
A St Louis mobster in the 1950's returns to Missouri from a botched hit of an eye-witness in Texas. His car breaks down in a small, backwards community in the Ozark Mountains called Valley Junction.
Big Lou is a giant, loud, mean thug who always gets his way through intimidation. The Mayberry-like town folk are immune to his threatening personality and treat him like just another welcome visitor.
Back in St Louis, Big Lou's boss is on trial and facing a life sentence or worse if Lou can't 'fix' the problem of the eye witness.
While in Valley Junction Big Lou witnesses a number of incredible events that the locals claim are the results of the angels who watch over the community. He also falls for a lonely widow who helps him understand why Valley Junction and the angels are different from any place in earth.
After several days his car is fixed and he knows he must return to the big city and face the music. He wants to stay and settle down into a real life with this crazy bunch, but he knows that would put the sweet, oddball citizens of Valley Junction in danger. You have to find out what happens!
