Lickety Split

by Frank M. Young

J. B. Dover, the irascible 70-something anti-hero of THE BYE-BYE BOX, is back. With his former partner in crime, Milo, who's now the leader of an improv comedy troupe, Dover takes to the high seas for a leisurely, relaxing cruise to Uruguay. A few stolen paintings and murders later, J.B. wonders if he wouldn't have been better off puttering around his condo...until he lucks into a windfall for the struggling comedians and rehabilitates a wayward archaeology professor. Laden with Dover's wry observations (AKA wisecracks), LICKETY SPLIT is an smooth-flowing blend of comedy and noir fiction.
