Do You Believe in the Power of Love?

By John Bruni

"Do you believe in the power of love?" This is the question that faces Nelson Jeffries, a man in desperate need of money. His answer leads him to Ania, a Polish immigrant studying to be a nurse. Her visa is about to expire, and she absolutely cannot go home. She offers him a deal: marry her in exchange for five thousand dollars. It's just a business agreement, he keeps telling himself, except he can't help but fall in love with Ania. At first it seems like the feeling is mutual. It's too bad she's not who she claims to be . . .

John Bruni, author of And Jesus Came Back and Dong of Frankenstein, returns to hardboiled fiction in what he likes to call a "screwball romance crime novel," as if Howard Hawks had directed a film based on a Richard Laymon book.
