The Last Coin by James P. Blaylock

3.0

The pernicious Mr. Pennyman aims to gather the last of the thirty pieces of silver given to Judas Iscariot. Standing in his way is Andrew Vanbergen, Vancouver innkeep and cereal connoisseur. Vanbergen has to be one of the dumbest protagonists I've come across - genuinely doltish, the sort of person who thinks they're much more clever than they actually are. I had hoped for more tension in the story than Blaylock provided; the concept was certainly interesting.
