The Attendant by Bill Lamperes

Local author Bill Lamperes came up with a winner of an idea for his latest novel. In The Attendant, Lamperes examines an urban myth you’ve no doubt read online. Remember the parking attendant who collected money from every car visiting the zoo and never missed a day of work in twenty years?  Then one day disappears and we learn he never worked for the zoo to begin with? 

In The Attendant, we finally find out where he went and what he did with all that money.  Lamperes creates a memorable character, in Thomas Roberts; you’ll find yourself rooting both for and against him as he absconds with millions of dollars to begin his retirement.

Roberts left virtually no clues behind and it’s almost an impossible job the beautiful psychic, Melina Noesis, has taken on. She’ll stop at nothing to track down this intriguing man, but just how far will Roberts go to protect his secret past?

This book has propelled Lamperes’ work into the international spotlight as this urban legend originated in Bristol, England and Bristollers have adopted Lamperes as one of their own.
