Independently Published Body Drop: THE FIRECRACKER KING - Vol 2

Reminiscent of Pat Conroy's novels of the South, and Richard Russo's novels of upstate New York, this book evokes the atmosphere of a particular time and place. In this second volume of the Firecracker King, as in the first, the time is the 1960s, the place New Jersey. The suspense and danger of the first volume again occupy Jake Johnson's life around his lakefront home. The banter between Jake, his friends and adversaries, is fresh and entertaining. Throw in the New York mob and Jake has serious and deadly problems to maneuver his way through. I look forward to more volumes in this series.
