    About this ebook

    At the bottom of the recent Great Recession, Nicole (the luckiest girl), desperate to save her struggling business, is inveigled into investing in the cocaine trade. She doesn’t know what she’s doing, and flounders. Meanwhile, Nicole’s dealer, Halfnose, pressures a teenager, Alec, into making a drug run to L.A.. Cass, his girlfriend, insists on going with him. Following their own train of thought, they turn out to be less than reliable. Alec’s police detective mother, head of the Drug Detail, has no idea that Alec is the mule on this run, but Pineapple, a hooker with a grievance, tips her to when and where the stash car will return. Patty sets up the bust, but with so many different trains of thought colliding, one confusion leads to another and another and another.

    Stan Washburn

    Stan Washburn is a painter, printmaker, and, more recently, a writer. His art is in the collections of the Achenbach Foundation, the Brooklyn Museum, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Portland Art Museum, among others. His work is low-concept—images of things he sees or wishes he could see around him—and inclines to the whimsical and mildly absurd. His writing, a more recent vocation, is similarly based on experience and sympathetic observation.
