Smith, Brad Busted Flush
Henry Holt & Company 2005 0805076506 / 9780805076509 First Edition Hard Cover As New As New
New condition. Stated First Edition. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears. 311 pages. From Booklist: Canadian Smith delivers another engaging mix of comedy and caper novel. This time, though, the light coating of country noir that colored his delightful American debut, All Hat (2003), has been replaced by a Capraesque mix of light and dark. On the lam from a vapid wife and an upwardly mobile real-estate job, Dock Bass--Mr. Deeds with a touch of Elmore Leonard--heads for Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where he has inherited a ramshackle house from a forgotten relative. While renovating the house, he stumbles on a trove of Civil War memorabilia, including what may be a primitive recording of Abraham Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg Address. Suddenly Dock lands in the middle of a gaggle of corrupt antique dealers and Civil War buffs even more avaricious than the real-estate weasels from his former life. No running this time. Dock draws a line in the Gettysburg dust and squares his back for a fight. The subsequent sparring match mixes comedy, history, and rugged individualism in just the right amounts. The ending leans toward sentimental, but like Capra, Smith earns it. Bill Ott Copyright © American Library Association.
