Nothing to Declare

Sex. Weed. Revolution. Grilled tuna.Jesse Kerf's a good-guy restaurant owner who's got his life exactly how he wants it. Flash L.A. bistro, spiffy BMW, all-white condo overlooking the ocean. Then, boom, he receives a bombshell. He's been named next of kin to Marty Balakian, the wild man and con artist who used to be his best friend. Never mind that they haven't had a civil word in twenty years. Suddenly, Jesse's forced to reckon with the past he's been running from for more than two decades. Between a long ago love triangle, a road trip that leads from New England to Indonesia, and the voice of Marty, who may be dead but can't shut up, Jesse's got a lot to handle. It's easy to get stuck on what really went down in the turbulent 1970s, when Jesse and his friends were smashing every rule in sight. To move forward, Jesse needs to figure out not just who he was but who he wants to be from now on. It's hard to be a good guy all the time. Nothing To Declare is literary fiction that hasn't forgotten how to party. As Marty likes to say, "I don't trust anybody's politics until I've seen them dance."
