As a man who left the fast track to help the city's
homeless, Richard "Bullet" Bullock is used to dealing with
difficult situations: few resources, people who feel
abandoned by life and circumstances beyond his control.
However, when he goes to bat for a man everyone assumes
killed a controversial evangelist, Rick discovers new
layers to the word "difficult."
In return for favors to try to get help to the man two
drunken tourists saw looming over the corpse with a bloody
wooden cross, Rick has to babysit the recalcitrant and
unrepentant niece of a Mafia don. The favors keep stacking
up and so does the time he has to spend trying to keep
Twyla Tharp...not that one...exotic dancer, safely
chaperoned. In addition to his babysitting duties and trio
of other unusual business companions, Rick gets squished
between a rock, a hard place and two sides of the abortion
debate, both of which feel that Rick knows the whereabouts
to the mysterious Book of Nathan.
With a riotous group of richly drawn characters, BOOK OF
NATHAN is hysterical as well as touching and interesting,
giving hope for more books featuring Rick Bullock and other
realistic products of Weeden and Marek's fertile
imaginations.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Rick
Bullock is about to learn just how true that is. Bullock
takes the road less traveled when he quits his job as an
advertising executive to become director of a homeless
shelter. Trading in a six-figure salary for paltry pay and
even less respect? Costly. But helping one man get back on
his feet? Priceless. When Zeus, a mentally challenged
gentle giant and longtime shelter resident, is arrested for
murdering evangelist Benjamin Kurios, Bullock wants
answers. Convinced Zeus is incapable of such a horrific
act, Bullock, along with a colorful cadre of characters,
sets off on a journey to keep an innocent man off death
row. The trip takes a disturbing detour when the bizarre
group stumbles upon a transcript of the Book of Nathan and
the discovery attracts the sinister attentions of a Jersey
mobster, pro-life and pro-choice groups, and a billionaire
used to getting his way.
