Meet Radar Hoverlander, a witty, gifted con artist with
the mind of David Mamet, the voice of Tom Robbins, and the
morals of a sailor on shore leave.
What do the
Merlin Game, the Penny Skim, the Doolally Snadoodle, and the
Afterparty Snuke have in common? They’re all the work of
world-class con artist and master bafflegabber Radar
Hoverlander. Radar’s been “on the snuke” since childhood,
but he’s still looking for his California Roll, the one big
scam that’ll set him up in sushi for
life.
Trouble arrives in the stunning, sassy
package of Allie Quinn—either the last true innocent or a
con artist so slick she makes Radar look like a Quaker.
Radar’s hapless sidekick, Vic Mirplo, a lovable loser who
couldn’t con a kid out of a candy cane, thinks Radar’s being
played. But if love is blind, it’s also deaf, dumb and
stupid, and before Radar knows it, he’s sucked into a vortex
of double-, triple-, quadruple-crosses that’ll either net
him his precious California Roll or put him in a hole in the
ground.
As timeless as a
perpetual-motion machine, as timely as a Madoff arraignment,
The California Roll brings you deep inside the world
of con artistry, where every fact is fiction and the second
liar never has a chance.
