Product Description

In his critically-acclaimed 2004 novel, “Bait And Switch,” Larry Brooks introduced us to Wolfgang Schmitt, wise-cracking ex-underwear model, copywriter and cynic and on the verge of a mid-life crisis, who is recruited by the FBI to seduce the bad girls and out-wit their men. Wolf has a lot to say about life and love, so on the side he writes self-help articles on relationships, as well as a column called “Bullshit In America” (also an Amazon.com Short). FATAL DETRACTIONS is the first in a series of Wolfgang's Schmitt's unique takes on relationship survival. Now, if only he had a real relationship to test it out.

About the Author

Larry Brooks' most recent novel, “Bait And Switch,” was named by Publishers Weekly to their “Best Books of 2004” list, after giving it a starred review and naming it their July 2004 Editor's Choice. Larry is the author of four critically-praised psychological thrillers about the dark and dangerous games men and women play with each other, including the USA Today bestseller, “Darkness Bound (Onyx 2000).” Larry's novels reflect two decades of “life experience” in the art and science of relationship survival and the business jungle, having only recently gotten a handle on the former with the help of his wife, Laura. Larry invites you to visit his website, www.booksbybrooks.com, for project updates and his schedule of writing workshops, which he describes as “mildly disturbing.”
