The Last Hot Time

When Danny Holman leaves the cornfields of Iowa for the bright lights of Chicago, he expects his life to change. He just can't guess how much. A violent incident brings Danny the favor of a man known only as Mr. Patrise, who gives Danny a job, a home, and a new identity. The City is a different world than Danny--now called Doc--knew. Long-vanished powers have returned, and more is going on on the streets than nightlife and street warfare. Power is gathering: a power rooted in terror, madness, and death. To fight it will require Doc to face what he most fears in itself. To defeat it will take something more than courage. Now with a new introduction by Roz Kaveney, written especially for this edition.
