Blame Jason Bourne: Sex, Mendacity, Betrayal and Murder

A recent event in the United States inspired the crafting of this story. That event received extensive media coverage, and you may recognize it. The full truth of what occurred remains hidden to the public, buried in acts of CYA self-preservation by the participants and investigators. What unfolds in these pages is a re-imagining of that event, an attempt to pry loose a little truth through fiction, with healthy doses of skepticism and common sense ... Initially, this fiction revolves around a landscaper and his faithless but rich girlfriend. He sees few prospects to of bettering himself and exhibits little motivation to do so; that is, until he experiences a voyeuristic moment that he believes might provide him the opportunity to transform himself from 'loser' into 'taker.'A police detective, a Mob Don and his consigliere, plus an aggressive district attorney and his deputy, each acting with a unique purpose, enter stage right and stage left to complicate the landscaper's dream. As with countless novels that expose human behavior to the light of day, this story is-except for a few fingernail-scratching moments-a buoyant commentary on the nature of the American species homo sapiens libro vicensimo primo saeculum.
