BLACK SHEEP

About the Book

What’s a comedy writer like Peter Kline doing getting involved with syndicate bosses and crooked cops? Punch lines don’t help much when you’re walking around with millions of the Casino’s money. On a wild trip that takes us from Atlantic City to the Cayman Islands we see that humor holds its own against the mob. With millions of dollars involved, Peter calls on his bizarre logic to find his way out of a situation he would have turned down if a writer had submitted the idea.
