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.

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...." (08/20/2009)
