Gay interior decorator Gregory Pluckrose joins his super-wealthy clients for a Caribbean cruise, only to find himself shanghaied by pirates. This is not the most desirable situation for a man who finds adventure vulgar. Nor is his dignity enhanced when he is he befriended by…a pig.
Yet this porcine sidekick proves to be not just a blessing but Pluckrose’s salvation.
These are the components of The Disappearance of Gregory Pluckrose, a witty thriller from the pen of Elizabeth Gundy, author of such highly praised books as Bliss and Love, Infidelity and Drinking to Forget. She is also co-author with William Kotzwinkle of the bestselling childrens series Walter the Farting Dog.
Of Gregory Pluckrose the New York Times raved “It is as if Oscar Wilde had been parachuted into the jungle. You will find yourself picking out and stowing away your favorite lines. There are enough twists in the story to make a yogi sore. Under the spell of Gundy’s droll and accomplished prose you will end up smiling through the whole thing.”
