Idiot!

What is the value of one life? Forest ranger Thomas King is a severe dyslexic and perceived village idiot. Alone, he roams the Pine Barrens, hoping to save a failing town. Claire Wethers' children have been stolen by her ex. The former beauty queen privately drowns her fears in whiskey. Their lives appear as marginal as the bankrupt town, but when this unlikely pair merge paths, everything changes. Idiot! is the last in Klim's opening quartet of novels that explore themes of isolation, despair, and ultimately redemption. The Book Reporter called Klim one of the most interesting new novelists today. He is also a highly sought writer for screenplay rights.
