AMBERVILLE: A Novel by Tim Davys Eric Bear thinks that he has escaped his past. A successful executive at Mollison Town’s most prestigious advertising firm, he is blissfully married to his beautiful artist wife, Emma Rabbit, and feels light-years away from his drug-addicted days, gambling at the Casino Monokowski and working for the notorious underworld boss Nicholas Dove. But Eric Bear hasn’t gotten as far away as he thinks. When Dove and his henchmen come looking for Eric, wanting him to do one last job for them, he has no choice. Dove has heard he’s on the Death List, and Eric has to get him off of it. If he doesn’t do as they ask, they’ll tear his beloved Emma Rabbit limb from limb. The problem is, nobody knows if the Death List really exists. Eric gathers together his team from the old days—the sadistic male prostitute Sam Gazelle, the sweet but dangerous Tom-Tom Crow, and the wily Snake Marek—and they go in search of the legendary list. Their search will take them to the lowest places in Mollison Town—and also to the highest. And Eric Bear will learn that nothing in his world is as it seems. "AMBERVILLE is a delightful mystery-thriller set in a city populated by stuffed animals. Yes, it sounds kooky, weird, even hopelessly cute...., but this debut by someone calling him or herself Tim Davys (the author's identity is a secret, allegedly because s/he is a public figure) is dastardly fun to read....AMBERVILLE is a nifty rollick that's as bracing as a good shot of whisky." -- San Francisco Chronicle More great reviews for AMBERVILLE, plus a fantastic video clip from Piper Verlag.
