Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

What could cause Bob to give up his job at the Los Angeles pathology lab that demands so little of him, where he can play Tetris and Web surf whenever he wants? What could lead him to walk out on his beautiful girlfriend, who makes her living as a masturbation coach? What could make him risk everything and ultimately transform him into Roberto, a kingpin n the Los Angeles Mexican mafia? An erotic tattoo. But not just any naughty skin ink, theMona Lisaof erotic tattoos, painted on a severed arm, which lands on Bobs desk one morning. Bob may have fallen for the woman in the tattoo, but hes not the only one who wants the arm. Theres thetelenovela-addicted mobster who lost it, the Jefe who needs to keep it out of the clutches of the police, a backstabbing cannabis aficionado/Wharton MBA, and a wine snob LAPD detective who knows the arm is the evidence he needs to bring down the entire Mexican mafia. From the author ofDeliciousandSalty, this is “dark and mordantly funny” (T. C. Boyle), a “gritty, entertaining black comedy” (Publishers Weekly).
