description: Trattoria Restaurant 3 AM. One waiter one customer. The overnight fry cook rambles up to the pie case to take his nightly hit of dessert-topping propellant. Its not a complete surprise when he falls to the floor; the stuff gives him the spins. Thats the point. Its a bad moment for the boss to arrive though. Its worse when the cook turns out to be dead - from a bullet no one heard. For the waiter its the start of the the worst few months of his life and before its done hell be neck-deep in drug deals romances with a faithless minx and an unintelligible Russian teacher - and a plot by campus radicals to blow something big. Its 1980 after all. No shortage of things to deplore. Theyre not too concerned with disco though; that seems to be on the way out. Graveyard Special is another humorous mystery by the author of Falling Up the Stairs and the first in a series of interconnected mysteries that span six decades.
