• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Bobby Conway, owner of S&M Motors, is wheeling and dealing in the madcap world of the auto auctions. Approaching 40 he's growing tired of the game, but there's too much money and too much "bling" to just let go. Then he meets Kathleen.

She encourages Bobby to follow his outrageous dream: get out of the car business and open a home for wayward kids. However, there are huge obstacles. He is threatened by two "wise guys" - Tony Mailbox and Joey A - who need his expertise to rob the auto auction; and two "aspiring terrorists", Samood and Achmed, who "insist" on his help in using the auto auction to smuggle money and explosives into the country. In the meantime, Bobby tries constantly to drum up business for giant toilets wherever he goes. All this, while the cops conduct their own undercover investigation into the used car business.

Bobby uses wit, humor, and absurdity along with the support of a friend, Paul Pottimouth, with Tourette's syndrome, nuns, a funeral director, and an undercover cop to overcome all obstacles. The wise guys are "arrested" by laughter. In a twist of fate, the terrorists become used car dealers, and the man with Tourette's winds up testifying before a Congressional committee. All of the characters change, but many in unexpected ways.

Autorenporträt

BIOGRAPHY

Mr. Weiss attended Central High School, at the time recognized as the top High School academically in the U.S. He then attended Drexel University where he gained a BS in History, Temple University where he earned an MA in Economics and the University of Pennsylvania where he received an MA in International Affairs. Those studies provided him with unique insights in the realm of foreign policy, military capabilities, détente, and trade.

He has been a writer for forty plus years and has penned hundreds of articles on social, political, and economic issues. He has written position papers for the Carter and Clinton Administrations and his work on social issues has received recognition directly from the office of the President of México. He speaks regularly with Noam Chomsky on political, economic, cultural, and military issues.

Mr. Weiss writes political, military, economic and scientific thrillers. There are now twelve books in the Paul Decker series. All his stories come right off the front pages of the major magazines and newspapers but none of his plots has ever found their way into novel before. His characters are ones readers can relate to: flawed, not superheroes. His stories do not require a leap of faith or use deus ex machina.

Finally, he has written a stage play, "Einstein at the Guten Zeiten (good times) Beer Garden, and an urban horror novel: "The Art of Theft", a modern day version of "The Picture of Dorian Grey" by Oscar Wilde.
