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.
