Set in the American Midwest, world capitals, and across time and space, Anomalous Events in an American Suburb is a science fiction, romantic fantasy, action thriller that is both historical and mythological, always anchored in real events. The novel explores themes of government anti-gravity research, metaphysical romance, the ancient Greek Eleusinian Mysteries, Harry Truman, Cole Younger's lost treasure, Carl Jung, and nuclear disarmament.

Kansas City attorney Essie Kemp's life takes a mysterious turn when he encounters a captivating woman in a grocery store's dairy aisle who can read his thoughts. On the same day, during a hike in a rural area, he experiences a close encounter with a low-flying, lenticular, silver disk. Later, he meets the same woman, Zoe Eliades, at a social event, and they become quickly obsessed with each other.

Essie's client, Ray Langstaff, is a government scientist working at the Department of Energy's Kansas City National Security Campus, a massive operation with over seven thousand employees. Ray confides in Essie about breakthroughs they've made and insights into Zoe's family's secrets.
