On the run from the Wisconsin Mafia for gambling debt, laid-off snowmobile factory worker, Joe Chromansky, destitute and desperate, flees to an abandoned houseboat in the Florida Keys. Accompanied by a mysterious woman, he agrees to lead a ragged expedition to Cuba to steal Fidel Castro's baseball card collection, only to find his real trouble has begun - fatherhood.
Powered by a pink Ferrari, chain-smoking lawyer, historic fire poker, and homemade missiles, this rollicking tale of tropical mayhem drags Joe and his new squeeze on a mad sprint between exotic and not-so-exotic locations from Wisconsin to Florida, Cuba to Las Vegas and, finally (or is it?), Switzerland.
With a nod to Carl Hiaasen, Tim Dorsey, and Catch-22 as sacred inspiration, CD Dowell's first novel is filled with the kind of thrilling madcap adventure best enjoyed in a beach chair beneath a palm tree.
