  • Lucky's Dream
    LUCKY’S DREAM LUCKY’S DREAM A ovel by Butch Mandatta Ponzio For Robert A. Clark, Jr. (1943 — 1998) On the night I turned 50 years old, I awoke from a startling dream, one that rocked me awake with its intensity, demanding my full attention. In the dream I was a criminal defense investigator once more, sitting in a Vermont courtroom at the defendant’s table, beating out a rhythm to which my homicide client — who up to this point had been mute with fear — began rapping his story. As he wove his captivating tale, the courtroom was stunned into silence. Lucky’s Dream is that tale told as a crime novel in the tradition of Leonard Elmore. As such it entertains and titillates, yet unexpectedly moves to deeper levels for two reasons: first, because of a series of myths mysteriously woven into the story, and, second, because of the American Buddhist teachings of a principal character. The story itself revolves around the flight from Vermont by Jimmy St. John, a public defense investigator whose fledgling love affair with his married boss has gone awry. Fleeing her house during the first snowstorm of the season, St. John rescues Lucky, his new homicide client, from a wrecked sheriff’s car, discovering in the process that the police had tortured Lucky. Accompanying the fugitives is St. John’s closest friend Odysea, who is traveling to the deathbed of her first woman lover. During their three-day journey to the Hill Country of Texas, these unusual characters share their secret pasts, providing insider looks into such diverse subcultures as sixties revolutionaries, nineties lap dancers, millennial lesbians.
