Baltimore City Police Detective Kev Dixit's life has become a series of good deeds, well punished. He's pushing his way through line of duty killings, idiot tests and shifts with humorless partners. But he's also the glue holding together the lives of his old Ignatius High School friends - within limits. Dixit didn't want to mediate a business dispute among his former classmates turned mortgage fraudsters and their psychopathic business partner especially on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. He didn't think the psycho would carry a loaded gun into a business office, but the holidays can be stressful for some.
Dixit and partner Detective Dinetta Laurence are seeking the murderer of a Roland Park artist. The case has gone cold and the pressure is unbearable. Is the solution among the canvases? Failed metrosexual actor Chris Waxley is helping classmate Brian 'the Troll' Golding avoid the match-making efforts of his parents. Attorney Rainwater Wells is making sure fellow Ignatian Alan Switzer keeps his medical license. Agoraphobic FBI agent Reg Marquis needs some 'off the books' assistance from Dixit to catch a Ponzi scheming financial guru. Is a lightning strike ever arson?
Clonk! Is a gently dark comedy just waiting to roller coaster the reader through the lives of some very different high school friends. Jump in, strap on your safety harness and welcome to Smalltimore, hon!
