| Dumas
Monk believes he looks like a dumas. He's an orphan who is the victim of
circumstantial evidence. He meets up with some old timers who are on the
swindling circuit. He learns to play pool, can out play most adults and
ends up touring with a card shark who once had his picture taken with Wyatt
Earp. When the card shark sets up a shoot out at the OK Coral Nighclub,
Dumas is again the victim of circumstances and ends up having to write
this book -- his defense to the judge who will be sentencing him to time
in prison unless he can convince the judge he's not beyond hope. These
letters are great reading. |
