Salvage King, Ya!: A Herky-Jerky Picaresque (Paperback, 2nd ed.)

Debut novel from the author of "19 Knives" and "New Orleans is Sinking." "Salvage King, Ya!" is a gritty, down-to-earth story of a hockey player's last few years in the minors. Drinkwater, an almost-got-to-the-NHL tough-mouthed romantic is skidding through the tail end of his 30s on a high-octane journey of self-actualization. Chip-toothed and soaring he struggles to come to terms with the conflicting aspirations of his youth and the reality of inheriting the family junkyard. Roving. Luminous. Rowdy. Funny.
