Blurb from Wrong Side of a Workingman:
You see the world for what it is, and you know we are in trouble. Ills beyond the reach of bankers and cops, soldiers and presidents and even kings threaten the fabric of our lives. What we need is a hero.
Alex Cides straps on his tool belt one morning, only to find his wife is gone, his daughters fear him, he's lost his job and a mysterious curse has thrown him out of balance with the universe. Ten impossible tasks in LA's mythical underbelly stand between setting things right, or losing everything. Literally.
