From the Back Cover
Johnny Lundgren, a.k.a. Warlock, is a failed pilot, an ex-portrait painter and a newly redundant company executive. The absence of gainful employment gives him time to indulge in his three obsessions – sex, food and the great outdoors – until his wife suspects that his midlife crisis is developing into insanity. Landing himself a job as an undercover sleuth and troubleshooter for the mysterious inventor, Dr Rabun, Warlock is thrown into a world of adventure and danger: battling poachers in the haunted wilderness of northern Michigan, receiving threats from the Mafia in the form of dead fish, and being left for shark bait by his employer's son...
A fast and furious black comedy from one of the most highly regarded of contemporary American writers, 'Warlock' is a powerful portrait of a man living on the edge.
Also available in Flamingo: 'The Woman Lit by Fireflies, A Good Day to Die, Legends of the Fall, Wolf,' and 'Farmer'
'He does honour to the old art of storytelling'
RAYMOND CARVER
'Provides pleasures of all sorts – farcical, reflective, luscious, gritty. It is stylish entertainment.'
NEW YORK TIMES
'Dashiell Hammett's low-rent realism made the mystery novel fun to read. 'Warlock' demonstrates that it is equally enjoyable to spoof.'
