Description
Guided by his magically prescient IHOP waitress, Mars strives to mitigate the shocking global consequences of the gazebo heist, even though he has no idea what the word mitigate means. Mars finds five Important Clues in the index of the (awful) book he is writing about the case: Butterscotch, John Travolta, Trombones Venetian Blinds, and Wind Chimes.
As Zither swallows its own tale, Mars finds it increasingly tricky to distinguish between real people and his rambunctious fictional characters. Zither becomes the romper room where his reality meets fantasy—and get frisky with each other.
Using his clues, Mars’ international odyssey leads to an explosive conclusion in the Panama Canal. TVs around the world tune in to watch live coverage of “Carnage in the Canal.”
Amid the lunatic havoc that is Zither there is (of course!) an epic love story as Mars meets Marian, the brainy librarian he dreamed of. Marian says his books are “slapstick existentialism with subjective reality couched in parable.” (This is news to Mars). But is Marian real?
