Maniac drifter
(Book - Regular Print)

When Harper Martin drifts into a sleepy Cape Cod resort with a mysterious investment plan, he unleashes a firestorm involving the F.B.I., the State Department, the government of Nicaragua, and the J. Paul Getty Museum. Lauro Marello's hilarious new novel features a surreal cast of characters, among them the Souza Family ["Provincetown's version of the Kennedys. They were handsome, glamorous, Catholic and doomed"], Voodoo Woman, and a parrot named Sydney Greenstreet. We come to know them all -- fishermen, artists, drug dealers, owner of bars both gay and straight ---through the lens of a winsome young amnesiac whose own past is shrouded in mystery.
