I liked this story, which is set against the backdrop of the upcoming 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul. I particularly liked the very thinly veiled references to the governor and other well-known Minnesota types.

Good story. An aging private investigator gets caught up in stolen violins which were taken by the Nazi's from Jews that were murdered. His life is in somewhat of a mess, but all is good.

So. Much. Reefage.

It was entertaining enough; favorite passages were when the main characters would get high and recite poetry to each other.

Great story encompassing what's really going on in today's political climate. Very funny real life characters, main character Augie Boyer reminds me of an old boyfriend...
