Good Friends — Charles Morgan

A young art patron, Phillip Baggins, is the voice in this dramatic novel set in the spring of 1984. One afternoon, Phillip is visited by a friend and business partner. The meeting sets into motion a series of revelations and events that culminate in Phillip seeking to unravel the truth surrounding a bizarre undertaking associated with his friend, the talented and eccentric artist, Gregarie Elberts. Part mystery, part science-fiction; ultimately, this multi-layered portrayal of the twentieth century's so-called 'cultural elite' makes a striking comment on the depth of the human ego and our lust for winning at whatever the cost.
