Riding the Fantastics - Paperback

by Oscar Patton (Author)

Narrated in real time by characters in the drama, Riding the Fantastics is about the death and the life of Boy Man Hardin, last King of the Crackers in south Georgia's old herding culture. This is the second of Oscar Patton's Satilla County novels and is both a murder mystery and a story of love, courage, and the triumph of the human spirit. Multiple twists and turns take the reader on a romp through a murder investigation, a revenge plot, and revelations about character and paternity. Who was the legendary Boy Man Hardin--cowboy, lover, devoted friend, formidable adversary? Who were these people, these Georgia Crackers?
