Author Spotlight: David Fishkind

When aspiring writer Jacob Garlicker witnesses a murder on the eve of his twenty-sixth birthday, it sets him on a spiral of overthinking and (lukewarm) literary ambition. After his agent-turned-girlfriend fails to sell his novel, he meets his wife, and years later, sober and somewhat satisfied, joins her family for what should be an average birthday celebration in the Hamptons. But after a similar event shakes the community, Jacob is spurned to go on a quest to find the perpetrators, no matter if he relapses on weed, alcohol and good sensibilities—he might get a good book out of all of this.
