Odarko, Oklahoma, 1956. Scratch Williams is a Yardbird: someone employed to do menial jobs, legal or otherwise.
After oil tycoon George Spiff hires him to break up the relationship between his daughter and her newest conquest, a fight breaks out. Later, Scratch wakes up in his car, with the body of the boyfriend lying next to him.
Who set Scratch up, what's the hat box, and where is Scratch's glass eye?
This is the large print edition of Yardbird, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.
