First it was, Who Killed Laura Palmer? Now the big question is, Who Shot Agent Dale Cooper? But with Twin Peaks adjourned for the summer, the networks are pondering another, even deeper mystery. For help, they have called in Agent Cooper himself. We pick him up as he drives into a new town, dictating into his omnipresent tape recorder...
Anyone who is still stuck on the question of who killed Laura Palmer is hopelessly out of date. There are so many other, newer conundrums in the secret-infested town of Twin Peaks.

Thanks to Palmer's low-key narrative, the credibility is all in the telling. The focus remains on Poole, an ordinary soul subjected to extraordinary experiences. Everyone has had the feeling, at one time or another, that the world no longer makes sense. Poole has the proof. And what he must do to save himself, his loved ones, even the earth, proves riveting and unforgettable...
