Losing Lenore

<p>Tommy Cuda's goal is simple: drive Route 66 to the Pacific Ocean in his grandfather's muscle car. Along the way search for a way of life that isn't boring while avoiding the mind-numbing pull of text messages and social networks. Pushing west out of Chicago with fuel in the tank and money in his pocket feels like sunshine after a month of dark Midwestern skies. Then he draws the Magician card from the tarot deck of a fortune teller named Lenore.</p><p> And she runs.</p><p> There are only two reasons to run. Towards something one desires. Or away from something one fears.</p><p> Or some-ONE.</p><p> Lenore's someone drives a blue Cadillac.</p><p> In scheming her escape Tommy learns that Lenore has big plans for the future. A dream that requires the precise moves of a Rubik's Cube combined with the commitment of a moonshot.</p><p> But that blue Cadillac blocks the way.</p><p> Dodging it uncovers a secret that even the fortune teller couldn't predict. A secret that places Tommy between the rock of knowledge and the hard place of revealing a disturbing truth to his new friend. A truth that draws him face-to-face with powerful men who have taken an unhealthy interest in his actions.</p><p> But the Rubik's Cube must turn. So Tommy does what any good private eye would do when the stakes are high and he's running out of time.</p><p> Protect the client.</p><p> Follow the money.</p><p></p>
