Book Description: Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Ships From Canada. New in new dust jacket. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. 288 p. Audience: General/trade. Book Description: Los Angeles, 1953. Lionel Walk is a young black caddy at Brookline, the oldest, most exclusive country club in the city, where he is known by the nickname Train. A troubled, keenly intelligent kid with no particular interest in his own prodigious talent for the game, he keeps his head down and his mouth shut as he navigates his way between the careless hostility of his totes and the explosive brutality of the other caddies. Miller Packard, a sergeant with the San Diego police department, first appears on the boy s horizon as a distracted gambler, bored with ordinary risks. Train names him the Mile-Away Man as they walk off the first tee, and even months later, when they have become partners of a sort and are winning high-stakes matches against golf hustlers all over the country, the Mile-Away Man is a puzzle to Train, remote and intimate, impulsive and thoughtfu.

Book Description: New York, New York, U.S.A.: Doubleday, New York, New York, U.S.A., 2003. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Book Description: Los Angeles, 1953. Lionel Walk is a young black caddy at Brookline, the oldest, most exclusive country club in the city, where he is known by the nickname “Train.” A troubled, keenly intelligent kid with no particular interest in his own prodigious talent for the game, he keeps his head down and his mouth shut as he navigates his way between the careless hostility of his “totes” and the explosive brutality of the other caddies. Miller Packard, a sergeant with the San Diego police department, first appears on the boy’s horizon as a distracted gambler, bored with ordinary risks. Train names him the “Mile-Away Man” as they walk off the first tee, and even months later, when they have become partners of a sort and are winning high-stakes matches against golf hustlers all over the country, the Mile-Away Man is a puzzle to Train, remote and intimate, impulsive and thoughtful, often all at the same time. Packard is also a puzzle to Norah Still, the beautiful lone survivor of a terrifying yacht hijacking, who is both aroused and repulsed by his violent and detached manner at the crime scene. Packard himself feels no such ambiguity. He is unequivocally drawn to Norah – and perhaps to what has happened to her – and an odd, volatile triangle takes shape, Packard pulling the other two relentlessly into deeper water, away from what is safe. With his trademark economy of style, Dexter brings these characters to life in their most reckless, vulnerable moments, stripping away words and manners until all that is left is the basic human pulse. From the Back Cover: Praise for Pete Dexter “What deepens and darkens [Dexter’s] writing, so that art is the precise word to describe it, is a powerful understanding that character rules, that we live with our weaknesses and die of our strengths.” —John Skow, Time “One of the greatest American writers a storyteller who cuts straight to the nerve.” —Scott L. Turow “Dexter is a writer who cuts to the bone.” —People “Dexter is a master of colloquial poetry, of moods revealed through gestures and settings.” —Playboy “Dexter’s strongest suit is his exquisite understanding of the finely meshed engines of greed, appetite, and interest .” — New York Times Book Review About the Author: PETE DEXTER is the author of the National Book Award winner Paris Trout and of God’s Pocket, Deadwood, Brotherly Love, and The Paperboy. He was born in Michigan and raised in Georgia, Illinois, and eastern South Dakota. He lives in Puget Sound, Washington. Bookseller Inventory # ABE-842621706
