Silver Linings - Hardcover

Nicky Silver is Cliffside's favorite househusband. A former lawyer, now an aspiring poet, he takes care of his five-year-old son, his CPA wife, and their Victorian home.

He also stumbles upon the strangled body of his old friend Carol Frank, a partner in Cliffside's trendiest, glitziest dress shop. Everybody love Nicky Silver; Carmine the grocer, Max the deli owner, Dr. Sy the physician, and especially his best friend Kay Oken, who has spent the last twenty years trying to get Nicky into her bed. Suddenly, they are all suspects in a murder. Now Nicky has to take care of his friends as well as his family by solving the crime. 'Silver Linings' is a fast-paced, funny novel that takes a sharp poke at the mores and morals of today's suburbia.
