A restless man obsessed with dog races embarks on a crosscountry journey leading to his Idaho hometown in this debut novel reminiscent of Catcher in the Rye. Luke Rivers is a parttime bartender and fulltime gambler who dreams of scoring big at the dog races. He travels the greyhound circuit with his wife, Jenny, and their young son, Jake, until one morning he wakes up in a motel in Rapid City, South Dakota, to discover that Jenny has left him and taken Jake with her. Now, for the first time, Luke must confront both the tragic family past that led him to gambling and the uncertain future that lies ahead. Morris evokes with deft intelligence the colorful world of dog racing and the characters, human and canine, who inhabit it. But this is merely a background for the travails of Luke and his little family, the cheap motels and dusty dreams, the tensions between Lukes tender love for his son and his obsession with his betting system. Lukes dilemmawhether to pursue Jenny or continue gamblingis complicated further by his painful memories of family tragedy and personal breakdowns, and by a seemingly miraculous winning streak at the track.
