About This Book

Murray Zemelman, a.k.a. "the bra king," wakes up one morning contemplating suicide. Instead, he leaves his trophy wife and his thriving lingerie business, gets in his car, and drives to Key West to start a new life. Was it brilliant insight or a glitch in his Prozac dosage? Who cares?

There he meets up with Tommy Tarpon, a local nativ eAmerican embittered by the unfairness of life. Together they cook up a plan: with Murray's business acumen and Tommy's ability to use the government statutes as last surviving member of his small Florida tribe, they'll create Key West's first legal gambling parlor on Tommy's traibal ground--a tiny alligator-infested island just off the coast.

But there are all sorts of reptiles interested in the plan, including a local Mafioso who wants a piece of the gambling business, and before you can say Bugsy Siegel, Murray and Tommy are fighting for their money and their lives in a battle of wits, writs, and anti-depressants.
