Publisher's Synopsis
"My brother has glass for eyes."
Puzzle is a journey into the integrating South, through the burgeoning town of Pleasant, which lies at the crossroads of several states and railroads and at the foot of several Native American power mountains. The confluence of magic, madness, and miscegenation creates a special, innocent child. A child born from a dead mother, the living see him in their dreams before they die and the dead are reflected on the glass shards embedded seamlessly to his face.
And then, to control or kill the heir apparent. "A man wants love; a woman knows love is a weapon."
