From the Inside Flap
Praise for Jackie Disaster:
"One of those clever confidence stories that are so full of pleasures in its details...Give it a read."
- The Washington Post
"Jackie Disaster is the best thing to come out of Atlantic City since saltwater taffy."
- Kirkus (starred review)
"If you're keen on The Sopranos and have found yourself wishing Martha Stewart wasn't Living, you will delight in this Atlantic City-based romp starring Giovanni 'Jackie Disaster' DeSesto. This is a terrific story that puts the murder weapon precisely where it belongs - in the heart of our spin-doctored, sound-biting, celebrity-sleazed litigious society."
- St Petersburg Times
"This novel provides lots of fun in a Carl Hiassen mode."
- Publishers Weekly
Praise for Money Wanders:
"A riotous parody... [Dezenhall's] superb eye and ear at times call to mind such masters of the journalistic novel as Tom Wolfe. This is one for the carry-on bag."
- Time Magazine
"Dezenhall starts us off chuckling, moves us easily to guffaws, and then winds up with some nicely timed belly laughs... If this debut is any indication, Dezenhall's career as a novelist shouldn't need much spinning to take off."
- Booklist (starred review)
"Thoughtful, unpretentious, filled with laugh-out-loud funny scenes and delightfully realized characters. Place your bets on this winner."
