Crossroad Blues (The Nick Travers Novels)
“It's about the crooked crosses of wooden electric poles that edge the two-lane highway lined with farm-supply stores, barbecue joints, squat, cone-topped silos, and windowless, burned-out 1930s gas stations. It's the deep maroon of a rusted tin roof above a weathered clapboard shack and the skeleton of a sun-parched tree, dead rooted in stagnant water. Or fallen cotton caught in highway gravel.
The images were clear--caught in Nick's minds eye like a Technicolor stamp. It was good to be out... of New Orleans, he thought, as he hit the beats of a Muddy Waters song on his steering wheel. He felt like a bear who'd just gotten his big ass kicked out of his cave. There wasn't a neon sign or strip joint in sight, not that he had a Baptist conscience toward naked women. Actually, he thought they could be quite therapeutic. But the latest therapy was just a distant memory.
His last girlfriend decided to marry a slick restaurateur with an uptown mansion.MoreLess
