Looking for Don

by D. Krauss

A wild ride across south Jersey in search of the annoyingly elusive Don...

What is Butch thinking? He joined the Air Force to escape New Jersey and now, look, one day out of basic training and he's tooling around the Pine Barrens in his Mom's car looking for his best friend, Don. It's like he never left. And he's still in big trouble: Pee Sea, the most notorious drug dealer in the state wants his head on a pike; his stepfather wants the car back and Butch gone; and his old girlfriend, April, wants to personally remove any body parts Pee Sea doesn't. If Butch could just find Don, then they could spend one last crazy night running the shore and the lakes and the mysterious, otherworldly swamplands before Butch has to report in. If he could just find him…

Looking for Don is a Bruce Springsteen album, a paen to bike gangs, Pineys, the Jersey Devil… and even an old ghost.

Looking for Don is the third novel of the Frank Vaughn trilogy.
