251 pages ; 23 cm, Calvin Harris, whose pastor father led him straight to atheism, has set up shop in Manhattan as an astral counselor. Ambrose Ruffle, a former priest now listening to confessions as a psychiatrist, works down the hall. When Jennifer Bailey, one of Harris patients, tells him she is seeing a married man, Harris suggests counseling for her boyfriend, Dwayne Navarone. A full-service counselor, Harris eventually agrees to kidnap and murder Dwaynes wife, Mavis. With the help of Ruffle, Harris snatches a woman he thinks is Mavis. In fact, it is Gloria Sheahan, Mavis coworker at Lyndon Johnson Community College. A series of misadventures ensues, with dead bodies appearing in Dwaynes car, and Harris shooting at Ruffle. McInerny deftly weaves together several subplots and creates a memorable character in the loopy sociopath Harris. This tale will appeal to fans of Carl Hiassens quirky characters and black humor
