"sleeping kings" by doyle and macdonald: the third short story of the Peter Crossman series. at first the breezy pastiche of noir and conspiracy theories is cute and funny, but in the end it just falls apart. it seems that they did not have time to fihish it, or did not know how. the three short stories are available in a book at lulu.com, and are continued in the novel The Apocalypse Door by James D. Macdonald. ( )

Interesting book in the ongoing series. I enjoyed the stories, particularly the ongoing stories. ( )
