Machine Gun Jelly (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781291052145)

Machine Gun Jelly is a cynical black comedy thriller. A small time hustler and Tiger Woods lookalike named Monsoon Parker is compelled to borrow money from a pitiless Vegas mobster, and is unable to pay the Vig. In desperation he ransacks an old suitcase that belonged to his father who was killed in Vietnam. What he discovers, the titular Machine Gun Jelly, triggers a sequence of increasingly bizarre events, and entangles a picaresque cast of characters in a dangerous farce. Only man knows what they are really dealing with, and he doesn t even know which planet he s on. Pretty soon, people start dying. The action moves from Vegas to Vietnam to Australia, before coming to a chaotic and explosive conclusion, and the ones that survive will never be the same again. "Deal we make as follows. You tell me what is MGJ, what it do, and how much it worth, and I don't cut both you Achilles tendon and drop you off in gay leper colony." Monsoon weighed his options. They didn't weigh very much.
