Hope's Road: A Novel
A comfortable tax attorney in Minneapolis adopts the American man's creed: the best way out of a tough spot is to get into a tougher one. Sure enough, he ends up a bearded, gun-toting mystic in Key West hunting for his vanished daughter. Along the way, this book becomes the best possible combination of a survivalist novel and a Zagat's restaurant guide: guns, motorcycles, crazy women, the ghost of Ernest Hemingway and enough four-star Midwest-hearty meals to draw a SWAT team from the Surgeon General's obesity police.
–Henry Allen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Washington Post critic
