November 22nd was the worst day of Mrs. Kennedy's life. No, no, not that Mrs. Kennedy. Another one altogether. However, the coincidence is hard to ignore. On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Mrs. Kennedy learns that her husband of seven years has left her. With nowhere else to turn, she seeks refuge at her local church (it's something she's seen on numerous TV shows and in movies). There she befriends an unorthodox priest who helps her through her difficult time. As their friendship blossoms, they discover more information about her husband's past and where he may be headed. Meanwhile, three young friends, including a young man who was once an altar boy at the church, get mixed up in a caper involving gangsters and terrorists. When the former altar boy seeks help from the priest, the young men's, the priest's and Mrs. Kennedy's worlds collide and they are led on an adventure with twists and turns through an underworld of international spies, supervillains, gangsters, bureaucrats, carwash attendants, Christmas tree salesmen, private investigators, and mountaineers full of danger and intrigue where not everything--or everybody--is what they seem.

The latest comic novel from Christopher Buckley, in which a hapless Englishman embarks on a dangerous mission to the New World in pursuit of two judges who helped murder a king. London, 1664. Twenty years after the English revolution, the monarchy has been restored and Charles II sits on the throne. The men who conspired to kill his father are either dead or disappeared. Baltasar “Balty” St. Michel is twenty-four and has no skills and no employment. He gets by on handouts from his brother-in-law Samuel Pepys, an officer in the king’s navy. Fed up with his needy relative, Pepys offers Balty a job in the New World. He is to track down two missing judges who were responsible for the execution of the last king, Charles I. When Balty’s ship arrives in Boston, he finds a strange country filled with fundamentalist Puritans, saintly Quakers, warring tribes of Indians, and rogues of every stripe. Helped by a man named Huncks, an agent of the Crown with a mysterious past, Balty travels colonial America in search of the missing judges. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, Samuel Pepys prepares for a war with the Dutch that fears England has no chance of winning. Christopher Buckley’s enchanting new novel spins adventure, comedy, political intrigue, and romance against a historical backdrop with real-life characters like Charles II, John Winthrop, and Peter Stuyvesant. Buckley’s wit is as sharp as ever as he takes readers to seventeenth-century London and New England. We visit the bawdy court of Charles II, Boston under the strict Puritan rule, and New Amsterdam back when Manhattan was a half-wild outpost on the edge of an unmapped continent. The Judge Hunter is a smart and swiftly plotted novel that transports readers to a new world.
