Are you in the mood for a darkly comedic adventure? Look no further than author William Kotzwinkle’s Felonious Monk series, now featuring the second book in the saga, “Coalville.”
Meet Tommy Martini, a Benedictine monk with a bit of an anger problem. After escaping the corruption and danger of his hometown, Coalville, Tommy never wants to go back. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. A girl he once loved has disappeared, and his childhood best friend has been murdered. Now, Tommy must confront his demons and return to the town he thought he left behind for good.
But Coalville isn’t the same place he remembers. It’s on fire, both literally and figuratively. The mines are burning and the people are poisoned. The town is overrun with drugs and child prostitution. And at the heart of it all is Parade Square, the epicenter of corruption and depravity.
