Amateur philosopher Jackson Conger wants two things - someone to love and a child to raise. His heart cracks when he finds in a coil of kelp on the beach a blue baby jacked full of formaldehyde. Jackson and Eddie, a teen he's counseling, bond over their love of dumb jokes. Hilarious one minute, insanely violent the next, Eddie confides he doesn't think he has a soul. Jackson's girlfriend Jeannie runs away. His best friend Monk disappears. When Jackson acts on the assumption something sinister connects them all, he vibrates a web, which threatens him and everyone he loves. Each strand of the riddle leads back to Jocelyn, the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. The sea is sick. A dead zone suffocates their fishing village. As a 100-year storm rages, can Jackson stop Jocelyn and the power she wields before she wraps him into a knot? Wittgenstein said, from jokes one could create an entire philosophy. Everyone in The Hookers Ball seems to be the butt of a cosmic joke.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Schubert Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1512154563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781512154566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Schubert Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49163455103231,"sku":"9781512154566","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hookers-ball-schubert-moore-9781512154566","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
