The World's Greatest Surgeon

About the Book

Setting: CHICAGO. Cleaning toilets may seem like a boring and thankless job but not for Elandro Tirogallo, Maitre d’ of the Men’s Room at Chicago’s Five Star Hotel—the Hotel Risque. Elandro is the consummate Men’s Room Attendant. Part of his ever-increasing duties is keeping Victoria, the local drag queen out of “men’s business.”

Soon two corpulent nuns—two who have never missed a meal—Srs. Disciplinata and Serenity, from Our Lady of Incarceration Catholic Church, arrive to “assess” the Tirogallo children, Barney and Pietro. Their meeting unfortunately leads to an unplanned visit to the neighborhood porno theater. Unexpectedly, their local bishop and “that Nazi lackey”of his, are out strolling near the theater and view with disdain the two sister’s dalliance. The sister’s mission, if they choose to accept it, is to duck the bishop, thus enhancing their chances of receiving the coveted “Teachers of the Year” award.

And Elandro’s life takes a new and exciting turn as he is mistaken for the “World’s Greatest Surgeon,” (WGS) (who is really the notorious womanizer, Dr. Orenby Hatch). When the Soviet Premier, Petrov (their inept leader), becomes terminally ill, a plot is “hatched” to secure the services of the WGS. Soviet operatives soon gather to plan and commit resources to kidnap the now cocky, Elandro Tirogallo. Is Elandro up to the job? You bet he is.
