(a) tightly paced, expertly drawn comic romp" from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Mosquito Coast (LitReactor). Paul Theroux, one of the world's most popular authors, both for his travel books and his fiction, has produced an off-beat story of 1960s weirdos unlike anything he has ever written. During the time of Lyndon Johnson's presidency, Herbie Gneiss is forced to leave college to get a job. His income from the Kant-Brake toy factory, which manufactures military toys for children, keeps his chocolate-loving mother from starvation. Mr. Gibbon, a patriotic veteran of three wars, also works at Kant-Brake. When Herbie is drafted, Mr. Gibbon falls in love with Herbie's mother and they move in together at Miss Ball's rooming house. Since Herbie is fighting for his country, Mr. Gibbon feels that he, too, should do something for his country and convinces Miss Ball and Mrs. Gneiss to join him in the venture. They decide to rob the Mount Holly Trust Company because it is managed by a small dark man who is probably a communist. There are some complications. Combine Donald E. Westlake with Abby Hoffman, add a bit of Gore Vidal at his most vitriolic, and you will have Murder in Mount Holly. "Parodies the American political fringe at a time when flags burned, hippies protested and commies lurked everywhere . . . you'll have little difficulty inserting today's fringe characters into Theroux's lampoon." -Star Tribune "The geezer psychopath finally gets his due . . . The fun here is in how hateful the characters are." -The New York Times Book Review [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15755331 [pa] => [publisher] => Grove Atlantic [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
