Welcome to Paradise: A Novel

What’s in a license plate? Plenty, if the tag reads BIG AL.

In this “wickedly inventive” (Los Angeles Times) and “darkly comic tale” (People), mild mannered Al Tuschman, a salesman from New Jersey, is mistaken for Al Marracotta, a major New York mobster with some very nasty enemies—enemies who hire a pair of bumbling hitmen to turn the paradise of Big Al’s Key West vacation into a living hell. When the wrong Big Al is targeted, cries of Why me? fill the tropical night—and the gentle Tuschman must turn tougher than his namesake to save his own life.
