<p>All he wanted to do that day was drive into town to look for a job. But when Pete Larkey turns the ignition key, his car won&rsquo;t start. He decides to walk to town. He&rsquo;ll have a morning beer at the Lemon Tree Lounge and buy a new battery for his car. He refuses to feel victimized. At least, he tries. But inside the bar is &ldquo;the last man on earth&rdquo; that Pete Larkey wants to see.

There&rsquo;s a stolen car, a hit-and-run accident, mistaken identity, a body in his bathroom and a deadly encounter with a condescending con man named Benny.</p><p>Pete Larkey knows he&rsquo;s not a perfect fit for the squeaky-clean town of Crestmoor. &ldquo;Everything in Crestmoor is clean and tidy,&rdquo; he thinks, &ldquo;except the inner lives of people like me.&rdquo; This innocent trip to fix his car will prove that point beyond a shadow of a doubt.</p>
