Sam Hunter has spent twenty years escaping his past. Now it has caught up to him in the weirdest of all possible ways.
As a boy growing up in Montana, he was Samson Hunts Alone — until a deadly misunderstanding with the law forced him to flee the Crow reservation at age fifteen. Today he is a successful Santa Barbara insurance salesman with a Mercedes, a condo and a hollow, invented life. The one day, shortly after his thirty-fifth birthday, destiny offers Samuel Hunter the dangerous gift of love in the exquisite form of Calliope Kincaid — and a curse in the unheralded appearance of an ancient Indian god by the name of Coyote. Coyote, the trickster, has arrived to transform tranquility into chaos, to reawaken the mystical storyteller within Sam . . . and to seriously screw up his existence in the process.
From Christopher Moore, author of Practical Demonkeeping, comes a quirky, irreverent new novel of love, myth, metphysics, outlaw biking, angst and outrageous redemption.

This is Christopher Moore’s second novel and, though it’s not on par with the best of his later work, it is a solid foundation upon which his inimitable style builds. In my opinion, a synopsis isn’t necessary (that’s why books have back covers and dust jackets); what is essential to know is that if you like the rapid pace of Moore’s plotting, witty dialogue with frequent clever turns of phrase, the occasional supernatural being showing up to influence human events, and a plot that will, by the end, pull together all the seeming narrative detours, you’ll thoroughly enjoy this book. Bonus for those who have read, or will read, other Moore novels is the appearance of characters recurring in later tales, such as Detective Rivera and, especially, Minty Fresh.
