A Feral Chorus - Hardcover

by Matthew J. White (Author)

A failed career. A disillusioned wife. A suspect engine. Serious headaches, in no particular order. But life is about to go from bad to worse for Guy Hastings. Drafted to sort out his dead lawyer uncle's affairs, he soon becomes embroiled in a web of shady clients, stolen money, and personal turmoil.

Guy sets off on a quixotic quest to recover his uncle's money. Stranded in the Florida panhandle, he teams up with Percy Templeton, an eccentric British winemaker on his own misguided odyssey. The pair head for New Orleans in the Englishman's wine truck, enduring cultural confusions, unplanned detours, and a night at the Sunbird Inn (the one by the "Garden of Eden," down the road from the prison).

A reckoning awaits Guy in the Big Easy. Will he summon the courage to confront the truth? Or will he continue living a lie, in more ways than one?

Overflowing with outrageous exploits and unforgettable characters, A Feral Chorus is both a riotous road trip through the American South and a hilarious account of one man's frantic attempt to turn it all around.
