To Publishers and Agents:
Tom Dillon is a tightly wound New Jersey reinsurance accountant with a celery habit, a French bulldog named Mugsy, and a mother who once worked as a famous Katharine Hepburn look-alike. His ordinary life beside Evergreen Lake begins to crack when his coding partner vanishes and a German-Swiss syndicate moves to seize the New York specialty insurance market over a single weekend.
Hunted by silent, almost inhuman assassins, Tom goes undercover as “Mona,” guided by a strangely intelligent caterpillar named Tootsie and by a mysterious woman on Fifth Avenue who presses a Latin-inscribed card into his hand and points him toward a hidden chest beneath St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
Katharine Hepburn and the MOB is a hybrid thriller that blends workplace comedy, family legacy, undercover farce, and a touch of magical realism. It is complete and scheduled for publication in November 2026.
I am seeking representation and publishing interest in a novel written for readers who want both heart and high stakes — and for the screen, where Tom Dillon could sit alongside characters made famous by actors such as:
Adam Sandler, Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale, Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, Ryan Reynolds, Tom Cruise, Tom Brady and Will Ferrell.
I would be glad to send the full manuscript upon request.
