A recent event in the United States inspired the crafting of this story. That event received extensive media coverage, and you may recognize it. The full truth of what occurred remains hidden to the public, buried, I'm afraid, in acts of self-preservation by the participants and investigators. What unfolds in these pages is an attempt to pry loose a little fictional truth--with applications of skepticism, imagination and common sense ... *A landscaper in rural Tennessee, having few prospects to of bettering himself and little motivation to do so, witnesses an event that tempts him to turn what he's seen into an opportunity to cast aside his life as a 'loser' and transform himself into one of life's 'takers.'His unfaithful wife, a police detective, a Mob Don and his consigliere, plus an aggressive District Attorney and his deputy, each acting with unique purpose, complicate the landscaper's life. *As with countless novels that expose human behavior to the light of day, this story is--except for a few fingernail scratching moments--a buoyant commentary on the nature of the American species homo sapiens libro vicensimo primo saeculum.
