The cosmic murder mystery* to end all cosmic murder mysteries.

Move over Nancy Drew, because Detective Tulsa Kalhoun is ready to solve the Case of the Big Dead Lizard! To succeed, she’ll have to navigate a perilous world of gangster aliens, galactic G-men, slippery socialites, salacious sex robots, sinister Illuminati septuagenarians, and a tiny green body-spelunker named Plorb.

Tulsa's gonna need to keep her wits and tits about her. Or failing that, cannonball straight into danger with a head full of drugs and a fanny pack full of even more drugs. Hmmm, she might have a problem with drugs. She'll have to wrestle demons both inner and outer and, if there's time, maybe get back with her ex-girlfriend/current-scheming-reptile-queen Lucy. What's that? Lucy's at the top of the suspect list? Damn, those are some mighty high stakes.

So sit down, buckle your seatbelt, unbuckle your seatbelt, stand up again, and take a good look at your ass before you kiss it goodbye! Because once this hilarious high-octane thriller gets going, it doesn't stop hoeing!

Midnight 99: Tulsa Kalhoun and the Case of the Big Dead Lizard, or Cosmic Astradellics and You – Just Say NO! combines Ash X's three Tulsa Kalhoun novellas into an epic ménage à trois of a novel that keeps you guessing at every turn!
