In the spirit of Donald E. Westlake's Dortmunder novels, with a nod to Terry Pratchett, P.G. Wodehouse as well as the madcap international intrigue movies of an era gone by. Boomerang tells the story of persons far removed from long dead FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, as well as each other, who are pulled into a modern day collision course all because of a bit of political meddling Hoover attempted in the 1950's. Ted Hogwood's beloved Sarah, a jazz guitar, is in the window of Topp Dollar Pawn. The only way he can get the money to rescue her is to accept an assignment from the AABC, a not nearly official branch of the United States Intelligence community. He is partnered with Jerry Kwiatkowski, master of the Hammond B-3 organ and chronic flatulence sufferer, to steal a boomerang containing secrets that should have died with J. Edgar Hoover over thirty years ago. It would be a simple job if only they knew what they were doing. And if a crossbow wielding assassin, two unemployed Australian women, the Director of Central Intelligence and a clothing optional ex-cheerleader were not also hot on the boomerang's trail.
