Cadillac Jack

by Larry McMurtry

First published 1920

Cadillac Jack is a rodeo rider turned antique dealer, whose prized 1959 Cadillac is his ticket to a life on the open road. From backwater flea markets to the corridors of Washington power, Jack's classic car connects him to the two women he loves - and the high-stakes world of rare collectibles. As he navigates this vaguely gypsy existence, Jack must confront his own divided loyalties and a hunger for the past that could cost him everything.
