Inspired by the author's experiences working with Hunter S. Thompson, an exciting, full-speed-ahead roman à clef about an ambitious young copy writer who takes a job as an associate to a unmotivated, drug-addled literary icon and helps him finish his long-awaited novel - by any means necessary. Alley Russo is a recent Ivy Category grad desperately endeavoring to make it in New York publishing. She's no contacts, even less money, and slings refreshments at a Bleecker Streets dive bar while slogging via an unpaid internship at Beat journal. It's there that she hears that the infamous Walker Reade is looking for an associate - after eight others have just lately come and ended up - to help him finish his next novel. Hungry for an opportunity to transcend her working-class origins, not forgetting score an experienced editor's eyes on the manuscript she's poured her heart into, Alley calls for the job. After surviving an absurd three-day "trial period" including a .44 magnum, purple-pyramid acid solution, violent verbal outbursts, brushes with popularity and regulations, a bevy of peacocks, and a whole lot of cocaine, she's invited to stay. Over the ensuing months, as Alley tries to coax the novel out of Walker one long page at a time, the infinite procrastinating, vampiric plan, Herculean substance abuse, Walker's mounting credit debt, and his informal gunplay will exact a toll on Alley's psyche. By enough time she completely grasps the reality of her situation - that she's exclusively in the Colorado Rockies susceptible to a drug-addicted icon whose literary powers are waning - her fate may already be covered.
