About this title

Synopsis

The Summary

One "Politically Incorrect" comment. One high-speed disaster. One dead baby.

Parc Attola’s life was already a bit of a circus. A surf-novel-turned-movie author with a penchant for saying exactly the wrong thing, Parc finds himself in the crosshairs of a national firestorm after a disastrous, "politically incorrect" appearance on the Tonight Show. Between accidental feuds with Hollywood's elite and dodging a "Dwarf Defense League" contract on his life, Parc just wants to get home to Florida and his long-suffering, colorful wife.

But as Parc navigates a surreal landscape of "Chihuahua" hitmen, treasure-hunting bouncers, and brawling bikers at the local Shark’s Bottom bar, his latest manuscript—The Baby in the Bag—begins to bleed into reality.

In the world of his novel, Detective Tommy Gunn is a man out of time, wrestling with a gruesome discovery in a high school locker room and a twisted web of DNA tests, identical twins, and predatory educators. As Tommy’s investigation spirals into a personal nightmare of false accusations and prison stays, Parc’s own life becomes a high-stakes comedy of errors involving exploding pool cues and sabotage4.

Blurring the lines between the chaotic life of an author and the gritty mystery of his creation, The Baby in the Bag is a satirical, unfiltered, and wildly unpredictable ride through the absurdity of modern fame and the dark corners of small-town secrets.
