Closing Time at the Sunny-Side-Up Paperback

Quentin Tarantino meets Smokey & The Bandit in this noir, science-fiction thriller. Sometimes, people just need killing. When Sam West wanders into the Sunny-Side-Up Diner hoping for a last slice of Mort’s world-class pie, and one last look at a waitress named Delilah, he has no idea he’s about to become the instrument of a great, karmic cleansing. The only thing crazier than the seemingly inevitable trail of bodies following Sam and Delilah south is the fact that – as State Police and local sheriffs begin to investigate – they find no evidence. Nothing. And the missing bodies are just the start, as an unlikely band of companions are drawn together in a scientific experiment more in line with the TV Series Fringe than anything in reality, with the threat of alien probes, local law enforcement, and rednecks around every corner.

Fasten your seatbelts readers, and hop into one of the fastest reads you’re bound to crack this year.” -Michael Laimo, author of Missed Connection and Deep in the Darkness

“David Niall Wilson’s Closing Time at the Sunny-Side-Up is a fast-paced, exhilarating story of the road, with depraved murderers, weird scientists, and dedicated lawmen, all entangled in overlapping webs of intrigue. I’ve read many, many works by Mr. Wilson, and I put this one way up at the top of the list.”
