Description:
<DIV><p><DIV><b>A densely layered journey into the dark heart of the American Dream that spans continents and centuries</b></div><BR><DIV>In Bradford Morrow’s debut novel, lightning-tongued mercenary Peter Krieger travels to Nicaragua to kidnap a man who may be a 480-year-old former conquistador—and therefore could hold the secret to immortality. When Krieger attempts to sell his captive to a reclusive scientist in upstate New York, he sets off on a globe-spanning expedition, in which he encounters an enormous cast of idealists, crackpots, and revolutionaries. And his one-time lover, Hannah Burden, who raises cattle in an illegal loft ranch in Manhattan, still stands between him and his nefarious, astonishing ambitions.</div><DIV> </div><DIV>A rousingly hilarious, yet tragic epic about the dark side of the American Dream, <i>Come Sunday</i> is fueled by Morrow’s captivating style, breadth of reference, and depth of insight, and spins old myths of the New World into unexpected and haunting forms.</div></p></DIV>
