Thieves, Whores & Dinosaurs: A Resurrection Story of the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin, California

Autor Jon Davis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2012
Acclaimed novelist Marc Mulberry leaves the seclusion of his sleepy island vineyard to attend an annual yachting excursion with a group of colleagues and friends. As they set sail from Seattle, frictions emerge when Marc's mistress, the notoriously impulsive poet Olive Snow, 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, daughter of the Nobel laureate Sir William Zofield. Marc's attempt to work on a new piece of writing is averted when Olive's husband, a film producer who turned one of Marc's novels in to a cinematic catastrophe, confronts Marc about his affair with Olive. Marc's confessions to Bryan are met with an equally shocking revelation. As the writers reconvene to ignite old arguments, opinions and attitudes clash wildly. 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 in San Francisco. 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.
