What do a tornado, a county fair, a grandmother’s death, and a bull named Elvis have in common? They all play a part in how a man learns to see what's really there.
Readers know Jackson Trade as the detective at the center of a hardboiled crime series. This collection of short fiction turns back the clock to trace the making of the man himself.
Spanning ages seven to eighteen, these stories reveal how a boy becomes an accurate observer of life and death in the everyday world. There are no gunfights here, no bodies in alleys, no crimes to solve. Instead, these stories illustrate the moments that sharpen a mind and teach the eye to observe.
For longtime readers of the series, these ten stories will deepen the character they already know. For new readers, the collection stands alone as a vivid portrait of a boy becoming the man he's meant to be, one hard-earned insight at a time.
How does Jackson Trade see what others miss? How does he put the puzzle pieces together? It starts on a farm in Tennessee.
Genre: Literary Fiction
