Book summaryFormer rodeo rider and Texan Jack McGriff cruises from coast to coast in his Cadillac, calling up ex-wives and girlfriends in his car phone and hunting down antiques for people who want to buy them. He describes himself as a "scout", hooking up customers with those who want to sell. McGriff winds up in Washington, D. C., trying to sell to a man named Boog Miller, and plan a cowboy-boot exhibit featuring the boots that Billy the Kid wore when Pat Garrett gunned him down. Media reviews"The book's beginning was simple. I was standing on a street corner in Washington, D. C., one day, waiting for the light to change. A black man was waiting, too. Just as the light changed a Cadillac drew up in front of us, and a jolly gentleman waves at the black man, who immediately brightened. "Ho, ho, Cadillac Jack," he said, waving. The car passed on, and I crossed the street a happier man. Life had just handed me a title; all I had to do was find a book for it." |
