Scarpete Reviews is set in southern Alabama. It is the tale of your. J. Waters, a man whose life has spiraled so uncontrollable and disconnected that he creates a fictional detective to first modest, then inhabit, and finally subsume that life. The detective, Scarpete, is still left to find some justification for the need of his lifetime. With only a lot of money of scrawled pages on a series of legal pads, Scarpete investigates the life and loss of life of the author who created him. Within those pages, he vacillates between narrator to muse to antagonist to protagonist. He coaxes A.J. to murder a recalcitrant Mobile editor, looks for an alleged child predator, solves the pitiful "crime" of an sign-altering prankster in the tony eastern shore city of Fairhope, and evokes the confession of an Virginia fugitive covering out as a Mobile night time radio chat show host. The dissolution of your.J's matrimony, family, and life is unveiled piece by piece, first as an exercise in therapeutic counselling recommended by his ex girlfriend or boyfriend. Then, as the exercise frustrates both doctor and patient, he retreats to the one place he is aware of where he might ask the necessary questions, may find necessary answers, turning himself into a third-person persona in the storyplot, while the lines between simple fact and fiction, between creator and persona collide, intersect, then dissolve.
