This book was about a man who was straddling two worlds. The first world was that of a family man that sold furniture in his store and the other one; was a two bit crook inherited from his father side of the family. The dichotomy of these worlds is what made this book interesting. He would not have survived these worlds without Pepper. He was awesome.
