A potent narrative novel about a modesty-starved, first time playwright heedlessly romping through Europe without care or caution.
Wildly enjoying the success of his first production, playwright David Musante sees his reckless life in the fast lane come crashing to the ground following a bizarre bust-up on New Year’s Eve in New York City. Hoping to somehow put his life and career back together, David flees the bright lights of Manhattan on an impulsive trip to Europe.
Unfortunately, his irresponsible ways continue and after leaving a trail of misbehavior from London to Lazio, he ends up virtually penniless in Rome. Desperate for money, an extreme lapse in judgment suddenly finds David as the prime suspect for the murder of one of Italy’s most prominent social figures.
Set against a marvelous European backdrop, this astonishing debut shows us how a person’s life can be flipped upside down almost instantaneously -- a riveting journey from beginning to end.
