Shoedog

This is a stand-alone thriller by an acclaimed writer on "The Wire": now a 'Serpent's Tail' Classic. Constantine is a drifter with a lot of miles behind him, a lot more ahead and plenty of jobs in between that never showed up on anyone's books. Back in his home town, he hitches a ride on a bright spring morning with a little man named Polk. There's one stop Polk needs to make, and it changes Constantine's life forever. Like the kind of cars they don't make anymore and the kind of songs they don't sing, "Shoedog" has the style, rhythm and muscle of a classic.
