Synopsis

"Funny as hell, brilliant dialogue, great characters who I just want to hang with forever and an air-tight story-line that thinks of every contingency and plans accordingly." —Tom McCaffrey, bestselling author of The Claire Trilogy

Waking up next to a dead woman would ruin most people's Saturday. For Sammy Davis Junior Jr., it mostly threatens brunch.

Sammy runs a house-painting crew in South Tampa with his two best friends, which sounds perfectly ordinary until you realize their workdays are filled with competitive absurdist games, elaborate philosophical debates, and the kind of chaos that has previously required legal counsel.

But when the woman in his bed turns out to be a murder victim, the police like Sammy for it. A lot. He has means, motive, and a bathroom drawer full of suspicious evidence.

What he does not have is a good alibi, a serious bone in his body, or any real interest in anything that conflicts with his standing waffle order.

As the investigation closes in, an unexpected addition to the crew quietly changes everything, bringing the kind of found family that sneaks up on you before you know you needed it.

Sharp, irreverent, and quietly devastating in all the right ways, this is a dark comedy about a deeply ridiculous man living a deeply good life, and the chaos that nearly takes it from him. It dares to ask whether a man who treats a murder investigation and a missed brunch with exactly equal gravity can possibly be worth rooting for.

He absolutely is. That is the joke, and the joke is the whole heart of it.

If you have ever laughed at something you probably should not have, this book was written for you.
