Publisher's Synopsis
"When Harold Ratner's former girlfriend and stand-up comedy protégé Justine returns to their tropical island from a mysterious absence his fascination with her is rekindled. But she is associating with a group of strange, very tall and very good-looking "Insiders" who are intent on forcing everyone off the island so they can "repristinate" it back to its original Edenic splendor. Harold, stubborn to the end, refuses to budge. As does a gimpy geek gal known as the Pythoness who swallows live white mice in a local bar for a living. When she is brutally murdered, the pressure on Harold to get out mounts. Still, like a modern-day Bartleby, he refuses to leave. This sets up a chilling climax that will leave readers in stitches"--
