TROPICAL DEPRESSION

Audio Renaissance, Los Angeles, CA, 1996.  ISBN 1-55927-372-0.  2 audio cassette tapes with an approx. playing time of 3 hours, still in manufacturer’s shrink wrap.  Read by Alexander Adams.  ‘Lingerie mogul Murray Zemelman, aka “The Bra King,” suddenly leaves his thriving business, his stately New Jersey home and his trophy wife, and hits the road.  He’s headed to Florida, home of his first wife Franny, whom he was stupid enough to leave all those years ago.  He’s looking for a fresh start.  Is it a brilliant insight?  Is it a glitch in his Prozac dosage?  Who cares?  He’s off to Key West.  Once there he teams up with a local Native American, Tommy Tarpon, and together they cook up a plan to open Key West’s first legal gambling parlor on Tommy’s tribal grounds – a tiny, alligator-infested island just off the coast.  But their plan attracts a whole other species of reptiles, including a crooked politician and a local Mafioso.  All Murray wanted to do was to woo his first wife away from her reading group and into the Jacuzzi – but he ends up getting himself, Tommy and Franny into more hot water than he ever bargained for.’ (from rear box)
