Meet Radar Hoverlander

AVAILABLE NOW. YA HEY!

THE ALBUQUERQUE TURKEY!

World class con artist Radar Hoverlander is back in a new adventure! And — hail, hail — the gang’s all here, too, if by gang we mean Radar’s conny gf Allie Quinn and his hapless bff Vic Mirplo. They’re all hanging out in Santa Fe, New Mexico, trying to live the straight life. It shouldn’t be so hard, considering how big they cashed in The California Roll, but the best laid plans of mice and (con) men oft go astray. Thus it is that Radar’s life is turned upside down by the one man with the power to make a master manipulator dance like a puppet on a string — his own old man!

Real Praise for John Vorhaus

The California Roll is grand entertainment…No caper-novel fan should miss this one.”

– Booklist

“Laugh-out-loud funny. . . . If you love colorful characters, slapstick, a fast-paced story, and witty language, you’ll enjoy The California Roll.”

“I loved this comic caper with its twisty pretzel plot, clever invented language, and an attitude that’s Carl Hiaasen channeling Dane Cook.”

– Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“Pleasantly preposterous…what Radar (and Vorhaus) understand is that every emotional attachment can be exploited for the sake of a scam…A lighthearted caper with psycholical insight.”
