The Reunion at Herb's Cafe - Paperback

by Dan Jenkins (Author)

And what a reunion it is Dan Jenkins reunites many of the most memorable and irascible characters from his most memorable and hilarious novels-- starting with Semi-Tough. Billy Clyde Puckett, Shake Tiller, T. J. Lambert, Barbara Jane Bookman, Big Ed Bookman, Slick Henderson, Juanita Hutchins, Doris Steadman--the list goes on, and they're all packin' heat.

It all begins when Herb's Caf --modeled after a Fort Worth landmark renowned for its chicken- fried steak--goes up for sale after Herb's death and the establishment's disastrous sequel as a trendy restaurant featuring outrageous nouvelle cuisine.

Tommy Earl Bruner buys the place, rehires most of the old staff, and invites all its former denizens to Fort Worth for a grand celebration. The uproarious outcome could only have been dreamed up by comic mastermind Dan Jenkins
