Tuesday is (sometimes) Book Promotion Day.
Multimillionaire recluse Barry Zubrick's tax exile in glamorous Monte Carlo is threatened when the police revoke his residency permit.
So Zubrick, who always wanted his own country, plots to overthrow the picturesque principality.
With the assistance of a former CIA officer, Zubrick schemes to seize Monaco "legitimately" by tracing a descendant of the Spinola family, which briefly ruled the principality over 725 years ago - and installing him as the true prince.
Stirring a retired general and a band of soldiers-of-fortune into his mix, Zubrick assembles the ingredients for coup d'etat.
Part drama, part farce
Zubrick’s Rock was published by National Press Books in 1995.
