Publisher Description
Irish journalist Luke Sheridan, newly jilted, sets out to cover the story of a poisoning gone awry and ends up in a boisterous party tht moves at the pace of the Keystone Kops set loose in a fun house. From Madame Lala's house of pleasure, with her most alluring "girl" Babysoft, and Count Fustenhalter, the designated murder victim, through gallons of drink and hours of orgy, we are exposed to a multi-bedroom farce of the good, old-fashioned, earthy, laugh-out-loud kind.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A boozy, boisterous Dublin newspaperman indulges in drink and sex on the job. ``Brown ( My Left Foot ) seems to possess limitless stores of energy. In torrents of talk, bursts of song and verse, he submerges us in scenes reminiscent of those non-stop binges in Donleavy and Cary. Reader reactions will vary: some charmed by the blarney; others bored by the logorrhea,'' advised PW.
