The Garbage Man

The best year of Robert Walker's life is his nineteenth, but whether there would be another depended on his ability to defend himself with a special knife, slingshoot bombs, foil kidnappers, avenge vicious killings, and hijack stolen marijuana, all to help prove himself innocent of murder. It all began with Robert's escape to Mexico from a southern Texas home for forsaken boys, where as a twelve-year-old, he was a bright but disruptive influence. After slaving on a farm for seven years, he swims the Rio Grande to escape false charges of murder, then after huge self-discovery and the promise of major success in a joint American Mexican enterprise, he swims back to clear his name.
