You’ll delight in John Conlee’s latest novel in which a very likeable fellow manages to make enemies with both the Mob and the FBI.
It’s the fall of 1969. America is recovering from the Cuban Missile Crisis; the Civil Rights Movement is heating up; the first US troops are in Vietnam. Jack Barstow has just met a bright and attractive woman. But his quiet life as a ghostwriter in LA is suddenly, though not unexpectedly, upended. If Jack is to prevail, he must marshal all his resources, physical and mental. Jack must be nimble and quick.
