About this ebook
A humorous glance into the macabre as Chet Wolford, Hobo extraordinaire, blows into Chicago’s east side looking for a free meal. Oh, he finds a free meal all right, but he runs up against something his worthless life has not prepared him for and he begins to hanker for the old familiar bridges to sleep under and even perhaps a dead rabbit to cook up.
