Can a dying, miserable brother obtain the forgiveness of his tortured siblings before sucking down his last breath? Will he offer a sincere apology, or succumb to the urge to pull off one final shameless stunt? This darkly humorous story is either a brilliant defense of big brother bad behavior, or another argument for one-child family planning. Confessions of a Bad Brother is the autobiography of an old man, and the unauthorized biographies of his siblings, in an attempt to gain, if not redemption, at least the last word. It examines why elder brothers go bad, with convincing arguments blaming parents, the Almighty, possessed siblings, the Baby Boom generation, space aliens, sea otters, and Hollywood. Read about the heroic life of a big brother, struggling with parents who selfishly share their love with his four siblings. A big sister, whose look of disapproval blisters stainless steel. A little sister, and her overbearing sweetness, that was a diabolical cover for her deep seated niceness. An unappreciative little brother and his career as a side show freak. Then there is the baby sister, a child so despicable most readers respond like rabid Mongolian poodles. “Big brothers will praise this book for its unique and powerful insights, while their siblings will read it and bow before them in adulation. Unless the siblings are knuckleheads, then all bets are off.” Bill A. of Virginia

Tommy Lyle was desperate for love. Orphaned when police killed his criminal parents during a shoot-out, and twice divorced before he was forty, the only person left in his life who cared about him was his big sister, Daisy. And Daisy just pushed her wealthy husband to his death in the middle of Tommy's dinner party.Tommy's desperate effort to keep his sister's affection tests his already slippery hold on morality. She demands his help covering up her crime and navigating a revengeful mother-in-law, a crooked medical examiner, a cheating undertaker, and a steely-eyed trustee.If that wasn't enough trouble, Tommy has to keep Detective Nick Bongiovanni from turning a simple follow up visit to the husband's apparent accidental fall into the crime of the century.
