This “sort of detective story” by the New York Times bestselling
novelist offers “farcical, reflective, luscious, gritty [and]
stylish entertainment” (The New York Times). As a Boy Scout,
Johnny Lundgren was given the nickname Warlock. Now, at forty-two
years of age, Johnny has decided to take up that moniker again. It
might be an odd name for an unemployed business executive living in
Traverse City, Michigan. But perhaps it fits his new job working for
an eccentric doctor as a personal trouble-shooter and private
investigator. Warlock suddenly finds himself on a range of bizarre
assignments—everything from battling poachers in the haunted
wilderness of northern Michigan to investigating his employer’s wife
and son in the seamy underside of Key West. A comedy with one foot in
the abyss, Warlock is “a rich and sparkling novel” by one of
America’s most critically acclaimed authors. “Contemporary
macho in a funhouse mirror . . . a hybrid born out of Faulkner’s
dark hero of Satoris and all the Buster Keaton comedy that we
love.”—Los Angeles Herald Examiner
