From Larry King, host of CNNs
Larry King Live and Edgar Award-winning mystery writer Thomas H. Cook comes a madcap caper about the bright lights and dimwits of Manhattan.
When the lovely Allison Vandameer concocts a scheme to get herself into film school against her fathers wishes, she has no idea the forces shes unleashed. She and her political pundit/media megastar father, along with a cast of colorful characters whod be equally at home in a Woody Allen movie, all unwittingly conspire to create a citywide web of intrigue, insanity, conflicting political values and personal agendas. The action takes them to the Plaza, to Queens, to Herald Square, to Tiffany, and into bars, bedrooms, Bergdorf Goodman and back, with everything culminating on live television in front of all of America in a dizzying climax that proves that love confuses all.
Review
A sophisticated farce that deftly pokes fun at political extremes while planting a loving kiss on the cheek of the Big Apple. (The Hartford Courant) This is a short, smart, off-the-wall adventure about dissatisfied denizens of the worlds greatest cityfrom Queens to Park Avenueand how they converge over the course of a few days.
