NEIL GAIMAN'S AMERICAN GODS MMPB
by Neil Gaiman
The storm was coming! Shadow spent three years in prison, keeping his
head down, doing his time. All he wanted was to get back to the loving
arms of his wife and to stay out of trouble for the rest of his life. Until
he learns that his wife has been killed in an accident, and his world becomes
a colder place. On the plane ride home to the funeral, Shadow meets a self-styled
grifter and rogue, Mr. Wednesday, who offers Shadow a job. And Shadow,
a man with nothing to lose accepts. But working for the enigmatic Wednesday
is not without its price, and Shadow soon learns that the past does not
die, that everyone, including his late wife, had secrets, and that the
stakes are higher than anyone could have imagined. All around them a storm
of epic proportions threatens to break, and Shadow and Wednesday will be
swept up into a conflict as old as humanity itself. For beneath the placid
surface of everyday life a war is being fought -- and the prize is the
very soul of America. As unsettling as it is exhilarating, American Gods
is a dark and kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an America
at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. (Harper Collins Publishers)

or is he just hiding from his wife, Nodoka. He will be able to hide your
hard saved cash from prying eyes though. Anyone for the beach? This 8"
