Description: Richter The Mighty by J.B. Manning President Wilhelm Richter, a bloated septuagenarian with ED, unleashes thugs to kill two of his kids, before they report the murder of his first wife, and two thieves, whove beheaded his lawyer and stolen his money. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Cody and her little brother Billy are on the run, hunted by the most powerful man in the world: their father-President Wilhelm Hickory Richter. A bloated septuagenarian from Jacksonville with erectile dysfunction and a young, contemptuous, cat-collecting wife, President Richter is facing financial ruin and possible prison time. Cody, a pistol-savvy motorcyclist, and Billy, a tech wizard at 13, are about to finger Richter for the murder of his first wife, Lulubelle. Meanwhile, drug-addled, bickering thieves have decapitated Richters lawyer and split with his $100 billion fortune. What to do? Sniff some coke, pop a few burgers, and deploy Lenny and Tiny, mismatched thugs supplied by a corrupt Russian ambassador, to "take care of" the kids. Then engage The Actuary, a hipster hitman from Brooklyn, to track down the cash and whack the thieves. The result is a droll chase-and-combat through the Okefenokee Swamp, Miami, Washington, Paris, and Arles, leading to an explosive night at Ponte Vedra on the Fourth of July. Author Biography J. B.

Review WINNER OF THE KILLER NASHVILLE SILVER FALCHION AWARD FOR BEST ACTION COMEDY NOVEL!"Vermont-based author Manning exhibits a well-honed sense of the absurd in a silly but humorously absorbing debut.... Manning lays the head-spinningly satirical groundwork for all of these eerily familiar antics with the ease of a seasoned comedian.... This is a brilliantly conceived parody. A sprawling, cleverly imagined spoof of political culture and the miscreants it spawns." -Kirkus Reviews Details ISBN1645994325 Author J.B.
