About this title

About the Author:

Robert Ferrigno is the author of six novels. He lives in the Pacific Northwest.

From Library Journal:

Inexplicably, rights to this fiction debut were the subject of a frenzied bidding war among U.S. publishers last winter. Retired drug dealer Danny Dimedici passes the days by swimming, spending what's left of his ill-gotten capital, and mooning over his divorce. When ex-wife Lauren disappears from her beach home and a dead scientist is found hanging naked from her ceiling, Danny is dragged into a silly extortion scheme over a pop-science miracle drug. A vigorously trendy theme and interesting cast of peripheral characters fail to redeem the novel's dangling subplots and unsatisfying conclusion. However, heavy media push from the publisher as well as notoriety derived from the controversial moral implications of Ferrigno's unrepentant drug-dealer hero should generate some demand. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 12/89. BOMC alternate.
