Synopsis
When a dead man turns up on his "doorstep," Romulus Ledbetter, the Caveman of Inwood Park, returns to the traditional world that he fled years ago to investigate the murder. Once a promising composer at Julliard, Ledbetters's paranoiac fantasies drove him to choose a simpler life away from mainstream society. But the mysterious death prompts Ledbetter to take roadtrips, don a Savile Row suit, and even play the piano again, as he seeks justice and truth for a man he never knew.

Publisher's Note
A homeless man who lives in a cave in New York City wages a one-man battle against an evil--and imaginary--power-broker responsible for society's ills. When he finds a corpse outside his cave, he launches an obsessive quest for answers that leads him back to the bowels of the "civilized world". "Nothing short of brilliant . . . a great read".--Los Angeles Times.

Once a devoted family man and a Julliard-trained musician with a brilliant future, Romulus Ledbetter now makes his home in a cave in New York's Inwood Park, spending his days foraging for food and waging a one-man war against Cornelius Gould Stuyvesant, the evil (and imaginary) powerbroker responsible for every one of society's ills. Then, one wintry night, Rom finds a corpse at the mouth of his cave. Propelled by his well-defined sense of ethics, he sets off on an obsessive quest for answers, following a spiraling web of clues and hunches, straight into the sinister den of temptation, money, and murder...a place otherwise known as the "civilized" world.

Industry Reviews
"Risky, hilarious, and touching...I loved it."
Katherine Dunn

"If you want an exciting mystery and well-developed characters, but nothing absolutely too awful to happen, take a look at George Dawes Green's very first novel, THE CAVEMAN'S VALENTINE...."
