Extended description

Buinessman Perkin Hoyt is a victim of the great recession and a long trail of bad luck. He can't even get an appointment, much less a loan from his bank. Meanwhile, across town, disbarred attorney Alfie Costello buys a 'hot' laptop in a midnight transaction. He sells the laptop to handyman Christy Keenan. Unfortunately the laptop comes with all sorts of attachments; Scammer Dallas Gornik, the inept Lewis brothers, hitman Morris Carney, crabby priest Owen Gillings, a bank heist and murders. An insane journey of comic ineptness and gonzo plans eventually join Perkin and Christy as the only sane individuals in another bizarre Mike Faricy world. It's truly the End Of The Line, the question is for whom?

Review by: Liz McC on April 23, 2011 : star star star star star
End of the Line is reminiscent of Mickey Spillane meets Garrison Keillor’s Guy Noir, but only more gruesome and R-rated. It is an engaging tale that takes place in my hometown, St. Paul, MN. With cleverly written scenes and characters, the humor will make you smile and occasionally, chuckle. And in some cases, cringe. In one scene, the olfactory description literally nauseated me. The credit belongs to author, Mike Faricy, a talented writer with an intriguing background which lends itself well to telling this entertaining yarn. “Loose ends” is a recurring theme throughout the book, but by the end, there are none. I have one word for you when you download this book at Smashwords.com, Enjoy!
