I, Michelangelo

History runs in parallel in this work of post-modern fiction, repeating itself in the broken mirror of time.

In one mirror of time, we meet the great young artist and sculptor of the sixteenth century, Michelangelo, whose struggles with his family and Pope Julius II turn his life upside down while creating the monumental statue of David and painting the masterful, immortal frescoes of the Sistine Chapel. In another, we encounter the artist and enforcer of a criminal enterprise in the netherworld of the twenty-first century, also named Michelangelo, the most unlikely of anti-heroes. His fight against a rival criminal enterprise takes center stage in the story, which is told from more than a dozen different points of view.

Michelangelo’s assignment: take down the creator of a dark website called Yellow Brick Road. The creator, known by the code name of IDAHO, is a fathom figure. Nobody is sure if he or she is one or many people, or where the enterprise resides geographically. The stakes are high as Idaho always seems one step ahead of Michelangelo and is able to wreak havoc violently on Michelangelo’s life and family. Who will prevail? And at what cost?
