Carom Shot

Author: J. J. Partridge

This book's protagonist is a total Mary Sue. The plot is not so much as plot as it is a device for the author to imagine himself in various situations. The title reflects the protagonist's skill at pool, which has absolutely nothing to do with the plot.

This book will mainly appeal to residents of Providence, who may enjoy recognizing various parts of the town in the text, and aging college professors who like to imagine themselves very fit and wealthy, solving crimes and sleeping with a much younger woman of exotic origins.
