by Brian M Wiprud
Morty Martinez is known in the industry of estate liquidation as a "feeler." If you were to look him up in the Brooklyn yellow pages, he would be listed under "home content removal," but his real job is looking for stashes of cash crammed into tin cans that have been left out of wills, kept out of banks, and hidden away for decades by the frugal elderly suspicious of ATMs and the IRS. When Morty hits upon the biggest score of his life, over $800,000.00, he knows that news travels fast and he must operate quickly and carefully to safeguard his booty, his life and his destiny as patrician of a seaside Mexican village. But what he doesn't know is that there are others after the same buried treasure, including the recently paroled prison assassin Danny Kessel.
"Wiprud switches his point of view so often and suddenly that you'll risk whiplash. But you'll gasp with laughter and surprise all the way to the hospital." - Kirkus Reviews.
"[A] highly amusing mystery from Lefty Award-winner Wiprud." - Publishers Weekly.
"Although the body count rises steadily, this is a rollicking, high-energy tale that recalls Donald Westlake’s comic caper novels." - Booklist.
"Brian Wiprud's wacked-out Feelers is fast, foxy fun." - Janet Evanovich.
"Brian Wiprud breaks new ground with Feelers, his biggest and best novel to date. It's a white-knuckle ride through an underworld that lies somewhere between the mean streets of Brooklyn and the author's matchless imagination. The characters are unforgettable, the action hypnotic, the writing is sharp. I've never read a book quite like it." - T. Jefferson Parker.
