Synopsis

The second riotous dramedy of the Mark McAllister trilogy. Welcome to Delmar, a world-class condominium with a thousand dirty secrets. McAllister's an eco-playboy with a trust fund who juggles fame and fortune and soon finds himself up to his neck in corrupt Florida condo politics, virtuous adult film stars, philanthropic meth cooks, bipolar cyberstalking ex-wives, conniving Playboy playmates, hilarious TV celebrities, and all the glitz, glamour and comedy in a city that is the quintessential triumph of style over substance. But when McAllister learns that a serial killer is abducting women, he's determined to put an end to the crime spree with the help of a joyously-oblivious black Labrador-but not before he throws a few wild parties on his mink-upholstered 44-foot turbo catamaran, falls in love and risks his life two or three times in this hilarious, laugh-out-loud, muckraking look at the seamy underbelly of Florida condo life.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

~ Alan Wolford ~ Author’s Bio Although I pray on my knees like an altar boy, I sometimes find myself cursing like a sailor, as I did on 9/11. The day I lost five friends in the collapse of the World Trade Center. As a writer, adventurer and student of life, I’ve taken more than a few walks on the wild side. There is no question that truth is stranger than fiction, and the truth is I put a little of my own personality and experiences into almost every character and scene I create. Vulnerable to the world, a little beaten up, but still in the game. Regardless of which crazy, hair-brained adventure that I’ve embarked upon, I feel quite blessed by God to have survived so many wacky experiences, including sailing most of the world’s beautiful oceans as a private charter yacht captain, often running aground and sailing off course through typhoons and hurricanes. Along the way, I’ve been bitten by sharks, moray eels, attacked by poisonous box jellyfish, swam with dolphins, chased by bears, and even escaped from a docile six foot octopus wrapped around me seventy feet down on the Great Barrier Reef. I did, however, manage to avoid being eaten by the friendly natives of Raiatea and Tikehau in French Polynesia, the unavoidable-but irreconcilable-paradox is this: the more dangerous the adventure became, the more alive it made me feel. Sailing gliders over the Monterey peninsula and several sky dives from 13,000 feet proved to be life-changing events, and the indescribable beauty and splendor of diving among the most incredibly fish-diverse islands and reefs of the South Pacific, Mediterranean, Atlantic, Caribbean and Indian Oceans helped me better understand the importance of being good custodians of our planet and supporting worthy environmental causes. Twenty years on Wall Street gave me a deep appreciation for the importance of encouraging the growth of global free enterprise, as well as sharing one’s good fortune with charitable causes. In writing stimulating, entertaining and thought-provoking novels, I hope I can bring you many smiles and inspiration, as well as some fun, laughter and unique experiences along your own life’s journey.
