Twisting the buddy cop story upside down and inside out, Penn Jillette has created the most distinctive narrator to come along in fiction in many years: a sock monkey called Dickie. The sock monkey belongs to a New York City police diver who discovers the body of an old lover in the murky waters of the Hudson River and sets off with her best friend to find her killer. The story of their quest swerves and veers, takes off into philosophical riffs, occasionally stops to tell a side story, and references a treasure trove of 1970's and 1980's pop culture.

Sock is a surprising, intense, fascinating piece of work.

From the Inside Flap:

"Penn has written a strange, sometimes still, sometimes thunderous novel that is unlike anything I've ever read...Reading Penn's novel was joyfully exhausting, which is how we should feel when we've been in the presence of such seriously good writing."
- Kaye Gibbons, author of Ellen Foster and Divining Women

About the Author:
Penn Jillette has been the larger, louder half of the performing team Penn & Teller since 1975. Penn's articles has appeared in The New York Times, Playboy and other publications. Sock is his first novel. He lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.
