Charlie Garner has a bad feeling about this. His ex-wife, Meg, and her new husband are missing. Neighbors assume that the couple ran away from creditors, but Charlie suspects that everything is not so simple. Recently, Meg has been working at a local doughnut shop run by the "People of Plates," a sect that believes their city is about to become the landing site of an alien space fleet. It would seem harmless fantasies, but the instinct of a former policeman tells Charlie that there is something wrong with this organization. Together with his detective brother Felix and a charming young journalist, Charlie begins his own investigation. And gradually he learns a lot of unexpected things about his small Texas town. Warehouses full of weapons, a sectarian police chief, a killer pet chimpanzee… But it seems that this is just the tip of the iceberg. . The Donut Legion is a "cool" detective with elements of conspiracy theory and well-aimed ironic humor: a killer pet chimpanzee, a sectarian police chief, and a city where almost everyone has their own secrets. – A novel from award-winning Bram Stoker and "Edgar," which critics describe as "the dark king of modern detective fiction" and "a stunningly gifted storyteller with a keen sense of rural humor." – For fans of dynamic detective stories with a small-town atmosphere. – At the center of the story is a former policeman, his brother, a detective, and a young journalist: Not perfect heroes, but stubborn, self-believing people who keep digging anyway, even when the truth turns into a threat to themselves. – The "People of Plates" sect, which is behind the usual doughnut business, is not just eccentric UFO lovers, but an example of how naive faith, conspiracy theory and access to weapons turn into a deadly mix.
