BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Jess Walter, who steps back in history for his third novel, brings back an
"utterly inventive" tale of crime and politics (Washington Post). Walter,
whose previous books include Land of the Blind and a non-fiction account of
the Ruby Ridge massacre, Every Knee Shall Bow, seems to have found his
stride as a novelist. Critics praise the author's ability to straddle-or
shatter-the conceits of the mystery novel, while offering a sincere, at
times hilarious, rumination on the challenges of citizenship and the price
of freedom. Except for the Seattle Times's vote against the stream of
consciousness chapters that delve into Reagan and Carter's minds, the
pundits all agree:
It's October 1980, and laid-back loner Vince Camden never misses a morning
making maple bars at the doughnut shop he manages in Spokane, Washington.
And he rarely misses a night relieving locals of their bankrolls at an
after-hours poker game, selling his hooker pals pot at cost, and running a
lucrative credit-card theft ring. Vince has landed in eastern Washington via
the witness-protection plan, and he is starting to like the simple
pleasures, including receiving his first voter-registration card. So even
when a hit man, a local cop, and Mob-boss-in-waiting John Gotti get Vince in
their crosshairs, he keeps trying to figure out if he should pull the lever
for Reagan or Carter. This tale of unlikely redemption works because of
Walter's virtuoso command of character and dialogue--along with a wicked
second-act twist.
