(More customer reviews)Financially cut off by his parents, Matt must face the terrifying reality of a day job in "The Contingency Man". Luck's not all bad, as he suddenly discovers he's a magnificent artist despite having no inclination to art whatsoever. Luck gets bad again as a fledgling actress forces her way into his life with little thought of Matt's needs. "The Contingency Man" is highly recommended for community library fiction collections and to anyone who wants a bit of an offbeat story.
