Publisher Description
In this sequel to Crum, Jesse Stone is still on the move. He finds himself in a holy-roller church in Kentucky, on the other side of the Tug River from his native West Virginia, “screaming with the cannibals.” From Kentucky he heads to Myrtle Beach, where he gets hired as a lifeguard, although he can’t even swim. Of course, trouble follows Jesse Stone. And so he is always in a hurry to leave—and he doesn’t much care where he is going. Throughout this tale, Jesse anxiously continues his search for a freedom and a future that he knows exists outside of his familiar world.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jesse is back in this sequel to Maynard's Crum, but he's moved beyond scraping together a life in smalltown West Virginia. Instead, Jesse's slowly making his was south, eventually finding himself as a lifeguard on a beach in South Carolina, where the local sheriff wants to do him harm, if his ex-girlfriend doesn't get to him first. Ross Ballard II perfectly captures Jesse with a twang in his voice and a good mixture of solemn and absurd voices for the book's characters. This production includes musical interludes and sound effects that immerse the listener in the audio experience. A bonus disc accompanies this audio edition: a 15-song soundtrack of music inspired by Maynard's series from Pops Walker. A Vandalia Press hardcover.
