Rising Wall Street attorney Jack Preston never knew what hit him when he met and became involved with Alice Mercer, a French industrial spy trained in the womanly arts by the finest madam in Hanoi. But will his involvement with this siren threaten his marriage to his sweetheart, an innocent kindergarten teacher? This novel, set in the 1950s, details Jack’s struggle between his desire and his dreams.
Alice has no such struggle and lures Jack into a lovemaking tour de force asking only one thing in return: disclosure of his clients’ names. It’s a small thing – until Jack is arrested for insider trading. The novel details Jack’s journey as his sexuality comes alive and he lives through a trial filled with shocking bedroom activity that whips the public into a frenzy, thanks to the tabloid media. But will Alice come through for Jack in the end?
Historical figures like Mickey Mantel and Joseph Kennedy make an appearance in the book, lending authenticity to this period piece. The Dog Ear Publishing title Carnal Weapon is Hoffmann’s first novel, but once you start reading, you’ll wish he had written more.
