Jazz guitarist Sam Mann has been paying his dues for years; now he's ready for a little fame and fortune. When smooth-talking talent agent Jim Dibbook offers him an irresistible package deal, Sam goes for it, violating his own first rule of sensible Never trust a guy who says, Trust me. So begins Sam's best shot at realizing his dreams, and his journey of self-discovery through romantic love, betrayal, vengeful obsession, and ultimate redemption in the bittersweet acceptance of his own common humanity and his humble place in the grand cosmic scheme.
Since the author is a friend of mine, who also is one of the best guitar players in the world, I will hold off on the review until I have actually finished reading the book.
