After President Jefferson signed the law forbidding the importation of new slaves into the USA, gangs organized to fill the demand by kidnapping free blacks and selling them back into bondage in the insatiable slave markets of the south.  Our sequel to The Hyghcock Chronicles tells of a free black man, aided by Quakers and encouraged by a Methodist Minister, who helped his slave brother escape to Philadelphia only to later lose his own freedom when he fell into the clutches of the most notorious band of paddy-rollers operating along the Maryland-Delaware border in:

The insatiable Seal Woman… lady love of Otis, murdered by fugitive Nazi

war criminals

“Ladies and gentlemen, between the covers of this book lurks a yarn so bizarre and strangely hilarious as to boggle the senses.

“Return with us to 1954! Be amazed by the gross stupidity of do-gooders who close down a carnival freak show depriving its performers of their only source of honest income.

“Be touched by a biker gang leader’s kindness in giving the freaks  jobs on his farm.

“Marvel as a posse composed of bikers, a midget, a two-headed dog, a human cannonball, a black-listed movie director, and a newly minted cowboy movie actor, scour parts of rural Delaware to solve the murder of the Seal Woman.

“Thrill as they confront Nazi war criminals set on recovering a cache of jewels and gold buried by a World War II U-Boat crew.

“You’ll be spell-bound by this tale of good versus evil, and you have my personal guarantee that it’s so extraordinary, humankind has never beheld its equal!”
