About This Item
New York:: Harcourt Brace & Company,, (1996). Hardcover first edition -. Near fine in near fine dust jacket (corners bumped). First printing. A novel which is part detective story, part history and part a 'sideshow of the human comedy." It "starts off conventionally enough when journalist Billy Tone shows up in the town of Paradise Springs to investigate a bizarre murder that occurred on the same day [in 1968] that Martin Luther King was assassinated. But poet and novelist George Garrett has something else in mind. That something else turns out to be farce. A rich stew of chaos, comedy, old jokes, and ranting characters, the novel also finds room for a biography of Martin Luther King and a character named Raphael who smokes a corncob pipe, sports a pith helmet, and just might be the angel Raphael." 336 pp.
