What will happen to George Smith? Mysteriously rich and desperately
lonely, George appears to be under attack from all quarters: his
former wife and four horrible children are suing to get his money;
his dipsomaniacal housekeeper is trying to arouse his carnal
interest; his secretary, the beautiful, blond Miss Thomson, will
barely give him the time of day. Making matters even worse are the
threatening letters: Dear Sir: Only for the moment are we saying
nothing. Yours, etc., Present Associates. Despite such precautions
as a two-inch-thick surgical steel door and a bullet-proof
limousine, Smith remains worried. So he undertakes to build a giant
mausoleum, complete with plumbing, in which to live. Hunter S.
Thompson called reading this book "like sitting down to an evening
of good whisky and mad laughter in a rare conversation somewhere on
the edge of reality."
