Description
Dickie Cornish lives in a homeless camp dotting the Smithsonian's Museum of National History, addled by the K2 and liquor he uses to blunt the pain of a harsh winter, the cruelty of Donald Trump's capital, and the enduring nightmares from his youth. He makes a few dollars a day scavenging the possessions of evicted tenants. After Dickie uncovers a treasure in the trash of a wealthy ex-Homeland Security Secretary, the man has a job for him: find a woman using the sub-level network of the streets and the underground world of undocumented immigrants. In return, Bracht promises Dickie a fresh, clean start at a new life. But the woman guards something Bracht will stop at nothing to retrieve-- and Dickie is being framed. -- adapted from back cover and Goodreads info
