Abstract
It’s 2016 and the nameless narrator breaks into his ex-wife’s house to retrieve a taxidermied badger, a way to regain a small measure of control in his life. Feeling confident after retrieving the badger, he decides to revisit his old haunt, The Lucky Clover, where rawboned and rough characters await him, principally Nanny, a six-foot redheaded amateur madam with a penchant for meth binges. One night the narrator discovers and takes a sizable amount of cocaine, is marked for death by Ray Kennedy, a man haunted by his own racial background. The narrator then turns to crime to repay the debt, only to find he’s been a pawn in game where violence is the only possible conclusion.
