About this title

Synopsis

Morty Martinez is known in the industry of estate liquidation as a 'feeler.' If you were to look him up in the Brooklyn yellow pages, he would be listed under 'home content removal,' but his real job is looking for stashes of cash crammed into tin cans that have been left out of wills, kept out of banks, and hidden away for decades by the frugal elderly suspicious of ATMs and the IRS. When Morty hits upon the biggest score of his life, over $800,000.00, he knows that news travels fast and he must operate quickly and carefully to safeguard his booty, his life and his destiny as patrician of a seaside Mexican village. But what he doesn't know is that there are others after the same buried treasure, including the recently paroled prison assassin Danny Kessel.

Review

"Brian Wiprud's wacked-out Feelers is fast, foxy fun." --Janet Evanovich

"Brian Wiprud breaks new ground with Feelers, his biggest and best novel to date. It's a white-knuckle ride through an underworld that lies somewhere between the mean streets of Brooklyn and the author's matchless imagination. The characters are unforgettable, the action hypnotic, the writing is sharp. I've never read a book quite like it." --T. Jefferson Parker, author of L.A. Outlaws

"Take Donald Westlake at the height of his game, Add Elmore Leonard with the tone of Freaky Deaky and Glitz, then stir in Charles Willeford as he was in Miami Blues, plonk it down in Brooklyn and you'd have ...Feelers. Just loved it." --Ken Bruen, author of Once Were Cops

"I dare you not to root for conquistador-at-heart Morty Martinez, whose epistolary confessions drive this story like a souped-up '69 Camaro. Feelers is part caper, part character study, and all heart. It reads like Michael Koryta and Charlie Huston had a love child with a sense of humor and the soul of a poet. Just plain great." --J.T. Ellison, author of All the Pretty Girls

"Feelers is a tightly crafted, perfectly plotted thriller. Readers will be rooting for the likeable and clever Morty Martinez until the final, unpredictable page." --Alafair Burke, author of Angel's Tip

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
