Excerpt from Corner Boy: A NovelTake eighteen-year-old jake Adams. Tall, slim and solid in silhouette as the lamppost he leaned against. On his face was a look that could only be described as casual tenseness. This look came often to his face and was one of the things that made him attractive to women. He held a cigarette loosely between his lips and the smoke spiraled lazily upward to linger in the hazy light from the lamp bulb. Out in the street hurrying cars blared angry horns at foolish pedestrians.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
