When Hack saw his cover artist Jonny M.’s new Christmas tree ornament depicting evil Spock with a beard from the Star Trek episode “Mirror, Mirror,” he was fascinated; especially when Jonny explained that the episode contained his favorite line “my operatives will avenge my death…and some of them are Vulcans.” The threat was directed at evil Mr. Sulu who appeared to shit his pants at the warning, making Hack wonder exactly what evil Spock’s Vulcan operatives were capable of.
Hack provided the answer with this novel. If you seen the “Mirror, Mirror” episode and imagined what evil Spock was referring to, be warned: what’s described in the book is much worse.

Here’s another tribute to a Hack supporter. Rob Vestal has always making a point of “liking” our posts when he checks them out and in thanks, he’s inevitably depicted as a murder victim when the story calls for it. In this novel, the story of Vestal’s availabilty as a corpse is explained when his super-hot paramour (depicted as 1940s movie star Gene Tierney) turned out to be a Mistress of Disguise who makes up a Skid Row vagrant that Vestal rubs out to look like him whenever he needs to fake his own death (which is alarmingly often).

Hack lives in Los Angeles and he couldn’t help but notice that the detective stories that he loves from the 1940s set in the City of Angels always have the hero dressed in heavy layers when the temperature in inevitably between 90-110°.
