The Prince of Foxes

by Alexander Ferrar

The future of espionage, the darling of the Deep State, Guy Fox has flown the coop. Unable to live with himself doing the Swamp’s dirty work, he has struck out on his own. Gone deep underground, he lives off of high-profile heists that baffle police world-wide. He strikes without warning and vanishes like smoke. Then, a famous Guatemalan artist is kidnapped the night before his grand opening. His most controversial painting has been stolen, right out from under the noses of the best security in the world, and Guy can’t just walk away. He has the painting and can be on the next train tomorrow morning, but he knows he’ll be no better than the evil he left behind. If he had not taken the painting, the artist would still be in the hotel bar having cocktails, and his beautiful latina sister would not be in tears. Now the master thief has to save his victim, while staying one step ahead of the police, and the relentless mercenaries the art gallery has hired are closing in. Can the Prince of Foxes finally become what he had always wanted to be—a hero?

A thrilling adventure by the author of the Icarus trilogy, the Heresy series, A Brothel on Hibiscus Lane, the Memoirs of a Swine series, Navarre, Saga of the Beverage Men, and a line of Variety is the Spice cookbooks from his acclaimed restaurant Sobremesa.

About the author

After using his considerable wealth to stockpile arms and raise a private army, Alexander Ferrar led an exodus of coed college students into the Amazon rainforest. There his followers have established a sustainable farm/nudist colony and worship him a la Colonel Kurtz. He is scheduled to return after the inevitable collapse of western civilization, at which time he will seize power and usher in the first era of true world peace. In the meantime, he continues to write novels that are delivered to his publisher via drone--okay, no, he doesn't.

He lives in Antigua Guatemala where he owns a restaurant-art gallery and a very popular exotic ice cream shop, and he has a beautiful wife. His grass is plenty green.

He is also the author of twenty novels dealing with hot-topic issues such as illegal immigration, the refugee crisis, transphobia, gender issues, Pizzagate, polyamory, interracial relationships, the plight of gays in Muslim countries, and various reasons the world is going to Hell in a handbasket.

Reviews

[Gina Whitlock]

This writer has a great imagination. It's a conspiracy theory about why the world is as it is today. Who controls the money controls the world. Not literary fiction but a fun read for a book club.
