You're going to have to be in the mood for something wild and crazy when you read this one. Johnnie LoDuco is a small-time criminal (about as small-time as there is), but his pal Vinnie is doing much better. And because Johnnie is such a good friend, Vinnie is going to cut him in. Things go wrong (naturally), and the next thing Johnnie knows, he's fishing for flounder and catching Vinnie's head. The head's the mcguffin that drives the plot from that point on. Johnnie's not the brightest bulb in the fixture, but even he can tell that things aren't going his way. Not until he meets Patrice, who helps him make one of his many escapes. Patrice is good news, and once she and Johnnie hook up, his prospects improve.
Or do they? So many people are after them (and the head) that it's hard to keep up. Not that it matters. The plot's not the thing here (it's very, very complicated). What matters is the head and what happens along the way. Plenty happens, believe me. And while you can believe me, you're not going to believe the events in the book, especially after Johnnie and Patrice meet the most unusual p.i. in fictional history. That doesn't matter, either. Just go along for the ride. Lots of laughs, lots of violence, and some really weird characters. When you're in the mood for something completely different, check it out.
