Re-Launch of Daniel Pyne’s Twentynine Palms

Despite the sweltering 105-degree heat, 41 attendees joined us at Desert General on Saturday, August 21 for the re-launch of Daniel Pyne’s acclaimed neo-noir crime novel Twentynine Palms. Fifteen years after its original release, this gripping thriller returns in a striking new edition featuring cover art by Ryan Snowden. A masterclass in atmosphere and tension, Twentynine Palms stands as one of the most brutal, sunburned entries in Southern California’s desert noir tradition.

Pyne read excerpts from the novel, signed copies, and engaged in an intimate Q&A with readers. The book is now available for purchase at our store.
