powers that be. And the motel owner, Calico Foster, can barely keep herself afloat, much less rescue a lost kid. A job is all she can offer.
Why blues-playing magician Jimmy La Roux comes to this downtrodden motel full of weary souls is more than anyone knows. But with a rattle of Harley pipes and a cloud of dissipating dust, he roars out of the desert straight to the Venus, fresh
from blasting through the cosmos, ready to change every life he encounters. And he’s wielding a magic box that makes anything that goes into it disappear forever …
Welcome to the Venus Motel, where a million stars dance above the neon and things are almost never what they seem.

But with a rattle of Harley pipes and a cloud of dissipating dust, he roars out of the desert straight to the Venus, fresh from blasting through the cosmos, ready to change every life he encounters. And he’s wielding a magic box that makes anything that goes into it disappear forever …Welcome to the Venus Motel, where a million stars dance above the neon and things are almost never what they seem.
