From the Back Cover...
 The Compleat Dartshooter is a dark and whimsical look at the world that lies nestled in the bosom of every small town in America. From the moment that the orphaned exile Aznap "Nappy" Ochnas meets a charismatic mafia bagman named Fletcher Widdy, the pair roam about searching for the meaning of life, or at least a good game of darts.
From the bars and taverns of the coal country in Northeastern Pennsylvania to the New York Open, the pair challenge each other and all comers for money and fame on the dart circuit. The competition is not limited to the dartboard: Nappy is heir to his late father's deeply held belief in truth and beauty, while Fletch's worldview is far more cynical. The picture gets even more complex when Nappy meets Patti Pulkowski, Fletch's ex-lover and a top-ranked dart shooter in her own right.
What begins as a lark designed to distract Nappy from his loss and what seems to be a dead-end future quickly turns sinister when Nappy's arrogance leads him to break his word to Fletch. Add a briefcase full of mob money, some dysfunctional Mafioso, Socrates, the law, sinus conditions, murder, Descartes, pride, and the North Carolina Coast, and you have a compelling examination of the landscape and personalities that make up small-town America. The Compleat Dartshooter is a tale of love, violence, faith and adventure.
