AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This blackly funny novel of our times follows what happens when Odell Deefus takes one wrong turn on the journey of his life and crashes into a world of oddballs, misfits, drug-dealers, religious fanatics and crooked cops, hypocrisy, torture and bloody murder.

'In Callisto, Odell Deefus discovers a vast web of corruption and deceit leading to the dark heart of America.' (Publisher's blurb)
