The smiling old man at the wheel had a spray-on tan, capped teeth, and was wearing a toupee. His face was pulled so tight that the double chin above his cravat might once have been his scrotum.
In "The Pursuit" by Janet Evanovich, the character described is an elderly man driving a vehicle. His appearance is exaggerated and comical, featuring a spray-on tan, capped teeth, and a noticeable toupee. The imagery paints a vivid picture of someone trying to conceal their age with artificial enhancements.
The description humorously suggests that the man has undergone significant alterations to his appearance, emphasizing the tightness of his face and the ridiculousness of his look. This detail not only serves to entertain but also highlights themes of vanity and the lengths people will go to maintain a youthful image.
