MacGuffin Files: Carats and Cold Meat

Thomas Foolery is a man living in his own world,
surrounded by fictional, televised tales, scripted
worlds of crime and endless Hitchcock marathons.
He's unfit, he smokes like a chimney and sees
nothing wrong with his voluntary agoraphobia. He's living life on his own terms...and under the watchful eye of his therapist.
Angie Earhardt is the only person Thomas truly trusts, even if there are ulterior motives to his dedication to therapy. When she tells him that there's more to life than selling online collectibles alone, Tom starts to open up.
And when he sees a critical flaw in the rolling footage of a major crime breaking, he decides to take Angie's advice and journey out into the world and live out his fantasy...being at the center of an elaborate mystery.
Adopting the alias...Matt MacGuffin and with his unending knowledge of fictional skills, he embarks on a dangerous journey into the real criminal underworld, where his life...and Angie's, will be pushed to their limits and hang in the balance.
Matt and Angie learn quickly to trust no one, humidity sucks and you should never, ever vomit on a corpse.
Will Matt survive in this world, where all of the players are cold and the cadavers are much, much colder? Find out in this darkly twisted, darkly comic crime novel!
