Max Eastern is a young filmmaker, the son of an old Hollywood star. He’s overjoyed with himself because he’s just finished his first movie, a flattering biopic of world-renowned revolutionary Oscar “el Puño” Ramírez, now president-for-life of the Caribbean nation of St. Elizabeth. Eastern has flown down to the island for the film premiere, but even before his plane’s touched the ground, the movie’s already causing a stink.
Eastern might revere el Puño, but that doesn’t mean the president’s own people do. Out of touch with what’s happening in the country, Eastern expects to be greeted in St. Elizabeth with adulation and applause. But he’s barely out of the airport on the way to a party in his honor, when, instead of throwing him flowers, somebody in a motorcycle tosses a Molotov cocktail at his car. Eastern can’t believe it. Who would want to kill him? It couldn’t be his film that’s pushing them over the edge. Ramírez dismisses the assassination attempt as a ploy by one of his own political enemies to embarrass the regime, but something doesn’t add up. For one thing, this political enemy, a man named Betancourt, shows up at the party drunk and he’s never heard of Max Eastern or his film. When, the following morning, a second film surfaces, also a Ramírez biopic but an unflattering portrait that contradicts everything in Eastern’s film, Max Eastern looks like a fake, a liar, and a fool.
Determined to reclaim his reputation before it’s too late, he seeks to discover where this film came from, who made it, and why. As he pursues this mystery, he sets off violent forces suppressed for decades that now threaten to engulf the entire society, and Eastern’s kidding himself if he thinks hiding out in an island mansion off the coast will protect him for long.

Wow. I love how non-conformist this book is. Such a great black comedy with a fantastic use of an "idiot" main character that doesn't have a clue as to what's really going on and yet his actions move the story along well. The book's pace moves fairly well and you'll catch yourself laughing all the way through it. Max Eastern's Hollywood arrogance combined with his first-person perspective makes this novel work very well. The narrative is witty and the dialogue reminds me of Elmore Leonard. If you love black comedies and especially Elmore Leonard novels, I think you'll enjoy this book.Product details
