When a body washes ashore downstream from the city, the discovery saddens the small neighborhood south of Broadway. A homeless man, T. Tommy Briscoe, whose life had intertwined with a bookstore, a bar, and the city's outdoor theater had touched many lives at an angle. One was that of Mickey Walsh, a fly-by-night academic and historian, who becomes fascinated with the circumstances surrounding the drowning.From the beginning there seems to be foul play regarding Briscoe's death, and, goaded on by his own curiosity and the urging of two old friends, Walsh begins to examine the case when the police give it up. His journey will take him into the long biography of a man who might have turned out otherwise and glorious, but instead fell into and through the underside of history, finding harsh magic and an even harsher world. Despite the story of Tommy's sad and shortened life, Walsh begins to discover curious patterns, ancient and mythic, in its events-patterns that lead him to secrets surrounding the life and death of Tommy Briscoe, and reveal his own mysteries in the searching.Tattered Men is one of the novels of the City Quartet, an interrelated group of novels that can be read in any order that also includes Dominic's Ghosts, Trajan's Arch, and Vine: An Urban Legend.

Über den Autor
Over the Past twenty five years, Michael Williams has written a number of strange novels, from the early Weasel's Luck and Galen Beknighted in the best-selling Dragonlance series to the more recent lyrical and experimental Arcady, singled out for praise by Locus and Asimov's magazines. In Trajan's Arch, his eleventh novel, stories fold into stories and a boy grows up with ghostly mentors, and the recent published Vine mingles Greek tragedy and urban legend, as a local dramatic production in a small city goes humorously, then horrifically, awry. Trajan's Arch and Vine are two of the books in William's highly anticipated City Quartet, to be joined in 2018 by Dominic's Ghosts and Tattered Men. Williams was born in Louisville, Ky, and spent much of his childhood in the south central part of the state, the red - dirt gothic home of the Appalachian foothills and stories of Confederate gorillas. Through good luck and a roundabout journey he made his way through New England, New York, Wisconsin, Britian, and Ireland, and has ended up less than where he began. He has a Ph.D in Humanities, and teaches at the University of Louisville, where he focuses on the Modern Fantastic in fiction and film. He is married to Rhonda Williams and they have two grown sons.
