Set in the Philippines during the chaos of World War II and the decadent twilight of the Marcos era forty years later, MacArthur's Ghost is a complex and moving tale of war and revolution, victory and defeat, promise and betrayal.

Life is good for three Elvis impersonators working together in the Philippines, but it is not long before the popularity of the acts becomes just too big for some, and they have to find a way to sort out their problems before they all are tossed out of town.

Overlook is proud to put P. F. Kluge's classic Eddie and the Cruisers--the book that spawned the movies--in paperback for the first time, so it can find a new generation of readers. With sparkling dialogue, superb plot and suspense that never flags this page-turner is the seminal novel of the 50's new music- rock-and-roll- and how it changed America. Eddie and his Jersey-bred band, The Parkway Cruisers, were going places. With an album and a few minor hits to their credit the future seemed bright until Eddie died in a fiery car crash. Twenty years later a British rock band turns their old songs into monumental fresh hits. With this comes a surge of interest in the surviving Cruisers and in a rumored cache of tapes that Eddie made before he died. That's when the killing starts.
