About This Book
Ah, the unfortunate Bartley Hannigan. Teacher burnout is just one of his problems. There's also his disintegrating marriage, the inheritance of a haunted property with its uninvited bibulous guest, a psycho poet with a fatal attraction, the arrival of an Irish banshee hunter with poor personal hygiene, his sudden passion for a stripper, and eventually, the hit man on his trail. But as the gypsy said, this "shit-storm" will lead to either a higher plane of understanding-or sudden death. Either way, Bartley can hear his train a comin', and he's ready to jump aboard and ride the winding rails to the last stop, because he's done with the b******t! Done!
