Farrell

Book excerpt: Two years out of college, Farrell moves from a small town to New York City with hopes of finding a job, friendship and happiness. Soon after his arrival to the city he finds quite a bit more than he expected. Farrell rents a room from a retired actor who takes him under his wing and treats him like the son he never had. He quickly finds all that he hoped for. A search for his new partner's father creates a mystery that they must solve with the prowess of a young Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Through out his adventure, Farrell encounters a number of eccentric and often flamboyant characters. These funny, off-beat and often satirical encounters demonstrate that a young man still trying to discover himself can have fun and represent the best side that being "in the life" has to offer.
