This Means War! — John Locke

Donovan Creed emerges from the darkest phase of his life, just in time to romance his houseguest, Trudy Lake, and deal with an unprecedented nuclear threat from a Syrian national who wants to get laid before blowing up the White House. Add to the mix a task-oriented housewife, a stone killer, a dying grandmother, a crazed hillbilly, a bag lady, The Swingin' Grouchos, nine dogs, and Callie Carpenter, and what could possibly go wrong? PRELIMINARY REVIEWS: “Locke has the unique ability to make you laugh right up to the moment he pulls the rug out from under you and knocks you on your ass.” “This latest addition to the Creed series features Locke's trademark smirk with less violence, more fast-paced dialog; plot twists that come at you in flurries, from all angles; and a storyline that is occasionally heart-warming and always funny.” “John, I loved the book, but the outtakes at the end have convinced me you are not just innovative, but truly insane.”
