Salvage King, Ya

By Mark Anthony Jarman

Debut novel from the author of 19 Knives and New Orleans is Sinking. Salvage King, Ya! is a gritty, down-to-earth story of a hockey player's last few years in the minors. Drinkwater, an almost-got-to-the-NHL tough-mouthed romantic is skidding through the tail end of his 30s on a high-octane journey of self-actualization. Chip-toothed and soaring he struggles to come to terms with the conflicting aspirations of his youth and the reality of inheriting the family junkyard. Roving. Luminous. Rowdy. Funny.

D-man juggles ex wife, future wife, waitress girlfriend, plane crash, drink-fests, the whole damn kitchen sink. A wild ride. One of those books they say is 'not for everyone', but oh yeah, it's for everyone. Probably helps your perspective if you've played some hockey, but not strictly necessary. Exhausting, crazy - well worth your time. And damn funny, to boot.
