Book Title Cats Revenge …….by Claud Balls

Brummy insurance salesman Roberko M,  is in desperate financial straits. His wife has thrown him out of the house along with the children she lied were his , and he is willing to do or say practically anything to sell himself to vulnerable women as he’s hung like a stickleback. Mincey accompanies another wannabe stud muffin he has just met, Adam Nutter, to the farm of an elderly man named Gory Story. The house is a mess and Gory is absent-minded, perhaps a tad senile. He does not have much money and, the little he has, he seems to keep in a jar. Mincey tries to sell the old man some bitcoins as it’s finally dawning on his frail old mind they are just a mega pixel of his vivid imagination.

Gorvy also has an old violin. A man named Damien, an appraiser from fine instruments such as glass pipes,  who has a shop filled with fine glass pipe like instruments, examines the violin and says it is somewhat rare and actually worth $2500,000. Complications arise when Mincey’s plan to steal the instrument to recover his bitcoin loss is discovered by a small-time ex-con named Randy, who not only will not leave Mincey alone, but turns violent and bludgeons one of Gory’s neighbors to death.

Continued inspection and research on the violin values it at forty times the original estimate. Mincey now is in possession of a two and a half  million-dollar instrument, but Randy wants his share and threatens to kill Mincey if he does not get it. Mincey thinks he can still come out of this all right, until he discovers that he is in way over his head.

This was a right old enchater of a read
