A Mean Old Man J Michael Willard

A Mean Old Man is a powerful story about a shattered love affair, a serial killer, a street person named Mr. Greenjeans and an aging, curmudgeonly journalist, John Deere, who struggles to save the ones he loves. The book resurrects from Willard's earlier novel, "Killing Friends", the mild-mannered accountant with the everyday face of a Mr. Nobody, otherwise known as Joe Parker, the escaped killer from a DC mental institution. Set in Central Florida, the book has all the characteristics and twists and turns of Willard's four previous novels, including a surprise ending that will leave you smiling-but at the same time wondering what next.
