Publishers Weekly Pick

Meet Tommy Martini, the monk with an anger management problem. Since killing somebody with a single punch is not a needed talent in a monastery, he spends his time praying, meditating, and taking his anger management medicine. But his meditations are interrupted by a legacy from his uncle, a crooked priest.

Arriving in a New Age Arizona town to claim his inheritance, Brother Tommy meets a charismatic, smoking-hot cult leader who claims that women are being impregnated by alien beings while they sleep. Tommy’s own sleep is disturbed - by cartel hitmen, Mafia bill collectors, and women intrigued by his vow of chastity. He loses his anger management medicine in time to deal with the hitmen, but the women present an uphill battle.

William Kotzwinkle’s quicksilver touch has produced an effervescent piece of entertainment filled with suspense, turns you won’t see coming, and the humor for which he is famous.

Found when looking through the humour section and gave it a go, The description gave dark humour and a twist you wouldn't see coming and for me both of these were absent. So why the high mark ? that's because as a mob focused 'redemption' story its absolutely brilliant and the author found the perfect narrator. Highly recommend its listened too

Tommy Martini’s observations on people, events and situations is where the blackest of black and bone-dry humour resides. The writing’s slice-of-life narrative structure with wonderful characters, unexpected detours and outrageous denouement added to the irony, absurdity and the fun. Then, there is the magnificent narrator. Lawd! Chris H Coffey’s delivery was so droll, so dead-pan and so perfect. Recommended for those who appreciate dry-as-the-Sahara-desert humour, rich storytelling regardless of genre and the musicality of a narrator's performance.
