[Self-Promo] The Rat In The Kitchen - Humorous Fiction Novel

Hello, I'm a long-time comedy writer (mainly screenplays and sketches) and I just wrote my first book. Check it out ... I'm well aware it's a different genre than what most of you are probably used to. I've only had one KU reader and judging by the pages read, he (or she) read the entire thing in an afternoon.... so I take that as a sign that it's a quick easy read.

A naive comic book artist gets mistaken for the nephew of a mafia boss.

Jimmy Viceno is a broke 24-year-old comic book artist who's spent four years drawing Rat Boy, a hard-boiled rodent detective in a trench coat and fedora who lives in Jimmy's reflections. After losing his car, his dishwashing job, and his standing with every Chinese restaurant in San Diego County, he gets hired on the spot at Machiavelli's Ristorante Italiano.

Jimmy doesn’t know that Machiavelli’s is really an underperforming mob front and Tony Gallo, the paranoid owner, is convinced that his new dishwasher is the Chicago boss’s nephew, sent undercover to spy on his failing operation.

 While Tony’s crew treats Jimmy like visiting royalty, an FBI informant working the floor files a report: the boss's nephew is in San Diego.

When Chicago finds out someone is impersonating his nephew, he sends an enforcer to find out who.

Jimmy notices none of this. He's thinking about panel transitions.

For readers of Carl Hiaasen, Elmore Leonard, and Christopher Moore.
