Tommy Cuda’s goal is simple: drive Route 66 to the Pacific Ocean in his grandfather’s muscle car. Along the way, search for a way of life that isn’t boring while avoiding the mind-numbing pull of text messages and social networks. Pushing west out of Chicago with fuel in the tank and money in his pocket feels like sunshine after a month of dark Midwestern skies. Then he draws the Magician card from the tarot deck of a fortune teller named Lenore. And she runs. There are only two reasons to run. Towards something one desires. Or away from something one fears. Or some-ONE. Lenore’s someone drives a blue Cadillac. In scheming her escape, Tommy learns that Lenore has big plans for the future. A dream that requires the precise moves of a Rubik’s Cube combined with the commitment of a moonshot. But that blue Cadillac blocks the way. Dodging it uncovers a secret that even the fortune teller couldn’t predict. A secret that places Tommy between the rock of knowledge and the hard place of revealing a disturbing truth to his new friend. A truth that draws him face-to-face with powerful men who have taken an unhealthy interest in his actions. But the Rubik’s Cube must turn. So Tommy does what any good private eye would do when the stakes are high and he’s running out of time. Protect the client. Follow the money.
