But not before shooting the owner, Robert Leviner. Enter the Rook, an ex-convict turned problem-solver, who plays chess and carries a .45 Chief's Special to get justice... his way.

Max Everhart has a new big fan. -John Vorhaus, author of THE CALIFORNIA ROLL Everhart has skillfully put together a fresh, tight tale that juggles the story of multiple damaged goods characters that collide face-first on a chunk of dirt called Alphabet Land. Crime story goodness that's gritty, pulpy, tragic, even funny at times and rips through pages like lightning. Hope to see more from Mr. Everhart. -Mike McCrary, author of REMO WENT ROGUE and GETTING UGLY Alphabet Land, decrepit neighborhood on the wrong side of the bridge in Clyde, South Carolina. A bridge separating haves from have nots, opulence from squalor, justice from injustice. Meet the Rook, product of Alphabet Land, casket-maker and problem-solver by trade. Call him vigilante, or Robin Hood-the Rook lives by his own code and his word is his bond. Max Everhart's mystifying hero is determined to stop the lustful power mongers from both sides of the bridge before greed destroys all hope for the hood's people.
