Spookaroonie

Robert Eringer. Corinthian Books, $19.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-1-929175-27-7

Spookaroonie, Robert Eringer's (Lo Mein) absurdist thriller, puts an ex-FBI agent with Tourette's syndrome and an uncanny resemblance to Bruce Willis hot on the trail of X-Files-type mysteries (conspiracy theories, UFOs, etc.) and a CIA official who's hiding out in Cuba and who may or may not be insane in a hyperactive, bizarre romp through the high-stakes world of global espionage. Short chapters, a high-speed plot and zippy if occasionally puerile dialogue will keep readers zooming along.
