America fantastica : a novel
O'Brien, Tim, 1946-2024
Large Print
At 11:34 a.m. one Saturday in August 2019, Boyd Halverson strode into Community National Bank in northern California and robbed Angie Bing, the teller, who scraped together 81,000 dollars. Boyd stuffed the cash into a paper grocery bag and then took Angie hostage. So begins the adventure of Boyd Halverson - star journalist turned notorious online disinformation troll turned JC Penny manager - and his irrepressible hostage, Angie Bing. Haunted by his past and weary of his present, Boyd has one goal before the authorities catch up with him: settle a score with the man who destroyed his life. By Monday Boyd and Angie reach Mexico; by winter, they are in a lakefront mansion in Minnesota. On their trail are hitmen, jealous lovers, ex-cons, an heiress, a billionaire shipping tycoon, a three-tour veteran of Iraq, and the ghosts of Boyd's past. Everyone, it seems, except the police.
