Suspense
What if a man is placed in the Federal Witness Protection
Program against his will? And doesn’t even know what he supposedly knows that merits
a
new name, a new identity, a new life?
Jay Johnson is an Average Joe, a thirty-something guy with
a
job in telephone sales, a regular pick-up basketball game,
and a devoted girlfriend he seems ready to marry. But one
weekday afternoon, he’s abducted on a Los Angeles Metro
train, tranquilized, interrogated, and his paper trail
obliterated. What did he see, what terrible crime—or
criminal—is he keeping secret? It must be something
awfully
big. The trouble is, Jay has no clue. Furious and helpless, and convinced that the government
has
made a colossal mistake, Jay is involuntarily relocated to
a
community on Catalina Island—which turns out to be
inhabited
mainly by other protected witnesses. Isolated in a world
of
strangers, Jay begins to realize that only way out is
through the twisted maze of lies and unreliable memories
swirling through his own mind. If he can locate—or invent—
a
repressed memory that might satisfy the Feds, maybe he can
make it back to the mainland and his wonderful, even if
monotonous, life. Set in a noir contemporary L.A. and environs, Fifty Mice
is
a Hitchcockian thriller as surreal and mysterious as a
Kafka
nightmare. Chilling, paranoiac, and thoroughly original,
it
will have readers grasping to distinguish what is real and
what only seems that way.
