Thieves, Whores & Dinosaurs de Jon Davis

Thieves, Whores & Dinosaurs

Jon Davis

Novelist Marc Mullbery leaves his sleepy island vineyard to attend an annual yachting excursion with a group of colleagues. As they set sail frictions emerge when Marc's mistress evades his advances and suddenly ends their longtime affair. Marc's cravings are quickly reawakened by another passenger, the prolific chick lit author Katrin Zofield. Marc's attempt to work on a new piece of writing is averted when his former mistress's husband confronts Marc about the affair. Marc's confessions are met with an equally shocking revelation. When one of the writers is found dead the narcissism and thirst for fame of those remaining is only heightened as they anticipate a media barrage awaiting them at the marina. 'Thieves, Whores & Dinosaurs' is a searing and hilarious satire of famous writers and the eccentric personalities they cultivate. It is the first book of the Marc Mulberry Series.
