Like Provincetown itself, THE FISHER BOY (Poisoned Pen, $24.95), a first novel by Stephen Anable set in this resort town on Cape Cod, is gaudy and gay a and way over the top. Itas not enough that the place has been invaded by a militaristic evangelical sect. The streets are also crawling with menacing children from a cult that grows amazing fruit and vegetables and models itself on ancient Nordic culture....Anable has given his earnest sleuth a genuine sense of wonder at the beauty of the Cape and a rare ability to hold conversations with sad, wounded people. His is a voice worth hearing again. -- Marilyn Stasio, New York Times, May 18 2008
Praise for The Fisher Boy... "A voice worth hearing again." -The New York Times "A first-rate insider's tour of Provincetown." -Kirkus Reviews Spiraling off the tip of Cape Cod, Provincetown has long been a place of escape, new beginnings, and diverse communities. Famous as an art colony, known for the Cape Cod School, its gallery scene is vibrant. Gay life is everywhere. Boston comic Mark Winslow has arrived this summer with a group of fellow improv actors ready to break into Provincetown's club circuit. It should be a carefree summer, but currents swirl beneath the sunny surface. Does the tall ship out in the harbor herald an unusually large crowd of Scandinavian tourists? If not, who are the blond and ragged visitors seen everywhere? Then, at a philanthropist's dinner opening the season, Mark gets into a very public fight with the son of local bluebloods-an old school friend. It makes him the prime suspect when the lawyer is later savagely murdered out on the beach. Though he stumbles from the scene, Mark thinks his choice is simple: find the killer or be charged with the crime. Stephen H. Anable was born in Boston and graduated from Stanford and Harvard universities. At various times during his life, he has been a stand-up comic, a journalist, an actor, a social worker, a scriptwriter, and the communications coordinator at a cemetery. He has two sons and lives in Massachusetts. The Fisher Boy was his debut novel, followed by A Pinchbeck Bride.
