Jim Prime deploys both memory and imagination in these short stories that take you from his youth on Long Island, Nova Scotia to the pitcher's mound at Fenway Park in Boston, and even deep into the North Atlantic's turbulent waters. Some tales are true and others...should be.
The book includes a special bonus: the first chapter of the long-awaited sequel to Fish and Dicks, the raucous stories of two fish-gutters and detectives on Digby Neck and the Islands, which Jim is writing with long-time collaborator Ben Robicheau.
