Because the Baptist minister's children in a small North Carolina town have difficulty conforming to the roles their father wishes them to play for public consumption, fifteen-year-old Neal feels he must hide his consuming interest in jazz music.

Another great Jim Thompson book. I really enjoyed the black comedy and satire that filled this story. I enjoyed reading it as much as the other two Thompson books I read but I was a little underwhelmed by the ending which prevented me from giving it 5 stars. Still extremely enjoyable and I will continue to seek out more Thompson books.
