Synopsis
Comic actor Chris Elliott's fiction debut is a wacky sendup of historical thrillers. The author himself figures as a character, a time traveler voyaging from the present day to late 19th-century New York City in pursuit of Jack the Jolly Thwacker, a serial killer who "thwacks" and then disembowels prostitutes, and whom Elliott suspects of being a time traveler himself. Somewhat distorted versions of various past- and present-day celebrities--including Yoko Ono, Boss Tweed, and Teddy Roosevelt--make cameo appearances.

Publisher's Note
In 1882 New York City, police chief Caleb Spencer, Evening Post reporter Liz Smith, and mayor Teddy Roosevelt try to unravel the mystery of the world's most bizarre serial killer, Jack the Jolly Thwacker, embarking on a wild chase through the streets of New York on the trail of a killer whose identity is revealed to modern-day comedian Chris Elliott, who joins the search courtesy of some time travel.

Industry reviews
"The mysteries of history--and the rash of bestselling novels they've spawned--inspire this slapstick satire that is more fun than the sum of its cliches....If those who devour such novels are willing to laugh at them, Elliott might be a bigger hit on bookshelves than he's been onscreen."
Kirkus  (08/01/2005)

"[T]his murder mystery wrapped in laughter is simply straight-up enjoyable...[A] rousing good yarn."
Publishers Weekly  (08/01/2005)
