AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Roadhouse is the last vestige of humanity still standing in Paradise. The owner, Ivy, is determined it's going to survive at a price. At least she has her faith ... and with the folks around her she's going to need it. Farmer Ned dreams of rain when he's sober long enough to remember his name. Daughter Holly craves the bright lights but will settle for the dim. And Davo wants to solve his crime but only if he can be like his hero, 70s TV detective Colombo.

'But will that be enough when an outsider crashes into town? Paradise Roadhouse, where anything will happen. And probably will.'
