Synopsis

Two bizarre characters, both fleeing the FBI, are thrown together in the New Mexico forest. The woman, who’s kidnapped a baby, needs a hideout and craves a sexual encounter. The man, a fugitive bomber, with the sexual experience of a cub scout, wants only to be rid of her. Result: an enthralling escapade: Wendell Hawthorne’s having a fine day, testing one of his bombs, when Melody Reeves crashes into his life. More accurately, she runs her car into the woods near his cabin. The car contains the baby she’s kidnapped from a Santa Fe hospital, and she becomes frantic as the car radio blares an Amber Alert with her name and description! Melody believes the infant was meant to be hers, but she’s sufficiently grounded to know that the FBI won’t see it her way. She needs a hideout, like Wendell’s cozy cabin, but those explosions she hears out in the woods are scary. A normal person would turn this crazy woman in, but Wendell is more Ted Kaczynski than Ted Turner. He could blow Siena to kingdom come, but Wendell’s a rare bird—a pacifist bomber. He wrestles with this dilemma, as he prepares another explosive ‘mission.’ Meanwhile, Melody works her feminine wiles on him and inadvertently drops clues that could very well undo them both.

About this title

About the Author:

Ed Webster admits that he’s fascinated with unique, quirky and bizarre human behavior, and he doesn’t exempt himself from the mix. His acclaimed memoir, A Year of Sundays (Taking the Plunge and our Cat to Explore Europe) shares the eccentric tale of his yearlong adventure in Europe with his spirited blind wife and headstrong, deaf sixteen year old cat. In his historical novel, Soul of Toledo, about Spain in the 1440s, the diabolical nature of mankind stands out as madmen take over the City of Toledo and torture suspected Jews 40 years before the Spanish Inquisition. Webster also likes to tinker with fictional characters, putting strange people together to see what they’ll do with/to each other. In his latest novel, The Gentle Bomber’s Melody, a nutty woman, bearing a stolen baby, lands on the doorstep of a fugitive bomber hiding from the FBI. The result is irresistible insanity. From the happily unusual of A Year of Sundays to the cruelly perverse in Soul of Toledo, Edward D. Webster shines a light on offbeat aspects of human nature. Webster lives in Southern California with his divine wife and two amazing cats.
