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.
