The Naked Girl in the Treehouse

Like the tagline says, this is “the mad misadventure of two English lads crossing America as the Rolling Stones.” The rapscallions in this delightful novel find posing as famous rockers was an aphrodisiac to midwestern girls on their cross-country journey … until facts of their impersonation catch up with them. But there is a prize waiting at the end of this pilgrimage: a slender blonde living in a treehouse. “Mark Howell is a gifted storyteller who will take you through an emotional gamut from laughter to tears,” says Bill Craig, author of the Marlow and Chandler mysteries.
