Summary
Jack McGreary is young man with more than his share of burdens to bear: his mom is dead, his dad is nuts, his girlfriend is apathetic and his hometown of Paradise Flats is one big, go-nowhere Depression dustbowl of despair… and poverty. So when dapper grifters Virgil and Miss Rose blow into town - scamming the local yokels with sleight-of-hand tricks and other deceits - Jack sees them as his ticket out. But what begins as a thrilling escape from the tedium of small-town life soon morphs into something more sinister. Some strong language and some descriptions of sex. 2007.
