Summary
Acclaimed crime fiction writer Jim Nisbet sets forth a noir gem that lays bare the foibles of modern-day America with tremendous force. Banerjhee Rolf, a bright, levelheaded Indian American scientist, is content to spend his days with his wife, tending his garden and studying his beloved astronomy. When Rolf's relationship with Toby Pride, his seedy, drug-dealing neighbor, and Pride's stoner girlfriend takes a weird turn, Rolf's placid world is shattered, and he becomes a fugitive from justice. Crime, cosmology, politics, philosophy, physics, and more enter into this cautionary tale, which climaxes with the suddenness of a cobra strike and then delivers a denouement that's both stunning and absolutely perfect
