A beautiful client, a missing husband, a false identity and a dead bodyit's the classic private eye setup, with a Kinky twist. A mysterious mobster named Leaning Jesus, a rogue FBI unit and the Chicago mafia play supporting roles in this "instant classic". This is "a novel to be read for the sheer joy of it."
About "The Love Song of J. Edgar Hoover", from the Author's Introduction: "This novel is simply what it professes to be: a novel. But through what Mark Twain called abstruse learning, the reader can discern clearly that quite often the differences between the mob and the FBI are not as great as their similarities. Invoking the wrath of either organization, of course, requires pawn shop balls. The Love Song of J. Edgar Hoover, to be sure, gets closer than Geraldo Rivera ever did to solving the mystery of what actually became of Al Capones secret fortune. "
