Adventure story, with an amazing potpourri of fantasy, of Mafia activities, of Black Magic machinations, of romance and ""murder"" and entomology. The scene shifts from a lowly corner of London to sub-drenched Sicily -- and there a modern Don Quixote""and his escorts tilt with windmills outside their ken. Don't let your staff sell the book as ""another book along the line of Magnolia Street""--as it has no comparable features. Sell as good entertainment, in novel vein.
