About this book

Max Trader is a luthier, a maker of guitars, Johnny Devlin is chronically unemployed. Trader is solitary, quiet, responnsible. Devlin is a lady-killer, a drunk, a charming loser. When they inexplicably wake up in each other's bodies, Devlin gleefully moves into Trader's comfortable and stable existence, leaving Trader to pick up the pieces of a life he had no part in breaking. Penniless, friendless, homeless, Trader begins a journey that will take him beyond the streets of the city to an otherworld of dreams and spirits, where he must confront both the unscrupulous Devlin and his own deepest fears. This is a novel of identity, an adult coming-of-age story in which a man discovers his own hidden strengths with the aid of some remarkable and unexpected friends...who are willing to follow him beyond the boundaries of the world.
