Meet Radar Hoverlander, a witty, gifted con artist with the mind of David Mamet, the tone of voice of Tom Robbins, and the morals of a sailor on shore leave.
What do the Merlin Game, the Penny Skim, the Doolally Snadoodle, and the Afterparty Snuke have in common? They’re all the work of world-class con artist and get good at bafflegabber Radar Hoverlander. Radar’s been “on the snuke” since youth, but he’s still looking for his California Spin, the one big scam that’ll establish him up in sushi for life.
Trouble happens in the beautiful, sassy program of Allie Quinn—either the last true innocent or a con artist so slick she makes Radar look like a Quaker. Radar’s hapless sidekick, Vic Mirplo, a lovable loser who couldn’t con a youngster out of a candy cane, thinks Radar’s being enjoyed. But if love is blind, it’s also deaf, dumb and ridiculous, and before Radar understands it, he’s sucked into a vortex of two times-, triple-, quadruple-crosses that’ll either online him his important California Spin or put him in a opening in the bottom.
As ageless as a perpetual-motion machine, as timely as a Madoff arraignment, The California Spin brings you deep inside the world of con artistry, where every simple truth is fiction and the next liar never has the opportunity.
