It’s been almost ten years since Johnny Concrete solved
the case of The Other Falcon.
He and his former assistant, the ever capable Val Uptuous,
are equal partners now – they share everything, if you catch my drift.
A little older, yes. A little wiser? Definitely.
But when Johnny gets called to Porkopolis for a seemingly simple job,
he finds himself battling the greatest foe he’s ever faced.
Defeated, he returns to Chicago a haunted man,
and it's up to Val to pick up the pieces.
Eventually, just when Johnny seems to have finally moved on,
his nemesis reappears, hiding in the shadows of a newfound friendship.
But this time Val isn’t hundreds of miles away.
This time she’s right at Johnny’s side.
So buckle up and hold on tight folks –
because Val’s just like Johnny - she plays for keeps.
Autographed copies of the book by Dick Gallagher will be available.
Musical guest John McMahon
There will be a drink special in tribute to the book's hero.
Fedoras welcome!
