Vince Ditrich’s farcical Tony Vicar trilogy has been making fans of the failed rock star turned small-town curmudgeon from coast to coast.
Reduced to DJ-ing rural weddings, Tony Vicar feels the bite of failure. A frustrated and failed musician, unable to discern why he has not rocketed to stardom, his only defence is to see the world through the lens of gallows humour, absurdism, and black comedy. At his lowest moment he meets Jacquie O., a former exotic dancer, and they begin a strange and unlikely courtship.
When the pair come across a fatal car accident, Vicar gives aid to the sole survivor, who’s barely clinging to life. His nearly miraculous ministrations succeed, and his actions become big news. But what Vicar calls luck is seen as something more magical by everyone else. He rockets from complete unknown to massive celebrity to legend, all in a matter of months.
Each book in the Vicar trilogy offers readers a rollicking farce as Tony Vicar faces the often-hilarious consequences of his life-long dream of celebrity, and the unforeseen danger to life and love that it brings.
