His truck repossessed by a bail bondsman, a reluctant teenage boy attempts to track down his wanted mother.
Hugh at Turn and Work is officially my hype man. You're hired. :) Thank you, brother. For publishing me and for promoting the bejeezus out of me. Elmore Leonard was my first love -- reading Stick in juvenile hall is what made me want to become a writer -- so the comparison means.

A building suddenly collapses in Harlem in 2008. A man is found in the rubble, alive, 36 hours later. Richard Price's Lazarus Man is rich and compelling, but if you’re looking for another Lush Life, this might not be it.
