But Jacob's best-laid plan goes up in smoke after he suffers a stroke on the way to the airport.

Meanwhile, Jacob's youngest son, Ezra, is the worst high school basketball coach in New Jersey. Ezra needs a win and his wife wants a child. One day he happens upon a young man shooting hoops on the playground. Suddenly, Ezra knows just what to do . . .Fire Sale is the third novel by Robert Klane, and the final word in his tasteless ouevre.
