Publisher's Synopsis
Need some humor to cheer you up? Want some chuckles, courtesy of an absurd story featuring an assortment of colorful characters? If so, this book is for you. Here's a hint why: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is returned to life by sorceress Madam Tresle at an upper-crust party in New York City. Host Art Stremlow, a greedy financial guru, and his friend, slimy attorney Charles Greshler, initially think Mozart is a charlatan, but latch onto him when he produces a document that may be the forerunner of the modern royalty system, which could make Mozart incredibly rich by way of retroactive royalties dating from 1791. Residing with Stremlow and his neglected wife, who begins an affair with a mime imprisoned in an invisible cage in their living room, Mozart starts composing a new opera, but suffers constant disruptions by Stremlow and Greshler, who plot to use him to their advantage. The interruptions increase, as does Mozart's anxiety, after his existence is forensically confirmed and the royalty document is ruled legal, because connivers Stremlow and Greshler shove stacks of documents at him in an effort to pressure him into assigning them power of attorney, so they can bilk his empire. Inadvertently abandoned in Manhattan, Mozart experiences several misadventures, then hires a cabbie to drive him and two voluptuous but shady escorts on an eventful cross country trip, during which they're shadowed by a fanatic detective who thinks Mozart is trafficking drug-laced powdered wigs. Upon completing his opera and returning to New York, Mozart orders Stremlow and Greshler to handle financing and legalities regarding staging his opera. Danger lurks in the form of a hitman hired to kill Mozart, but a wardrobe malfunction during the opera's premiere impacts the attempt, and subsequently several transformations occur that bring about a happy ending for all but a few.
