Summary
After Teddy Folger burns down his comic book store for the insurance money, repo man Connor Samson reclaims Teddy's boat, unaware of the priceless stowaway on board, and finds himself taking on eccentric billionaire collector Ahira Kurisaka and a gang of would-be ninjas who will stop at nothing to get what they want. By the author of The Pistol Poets. 17,500 first printing.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: The Edgar Award-nominated author of Gun Monkeys delivers an adrenaline rush of a novel that features a special appearance by Joe DiMaggio.
The high spot of Teddy Folger's life was the day in 1954 that he got an autographed baseball card from Joe DiMaggio himself. It's been downhill ever since. Which is why he just unloaded his freeloading wife and torched his own comic-book storeâin one of the stupidest insurance scams in history. Enter Conner Samson. The down-on-his-luck repo man has just been hired to repossess Teddy's boat. Little does he know there's a baseball card on board that some men are willing to kill for. Thus begins a rip-roaring cross-country odysseyâand with bodies piling up, the squeeze is on for the penultimate piece of Americana. And Conner will be lucky if he ends up back where he started: broke and (still) breathing.
