Jacko Lee is a homeless vet, simple-minded, sexually abused by his mother, shellshocked by the Vietnam War, Jacko has returned to the desert cross-roads community where he grew up, lives in a makeshift box, and tries to understand his past. Jacko has surrounded himself with an odd assortment of friends including Sonny Ray (a drifter), Darla (a hooker), Pitts (a corpse); and Norton (a spider). His friends come and go, but Jacko remains, determined to solve the murder mystery of his past and find the means to his own redemption. Jacko's principle source of support is his older half-sister, Marie. She'll will fight anyone in defense of her brother, even to the pint of neglecting her own need for love and tenderness.

Dailey's highly recommended debut novel of quirky characters, danger, death, sex, murder, abuse, insanity, love, compassion, humor, wisdom, and the enduring human spirit.
