Zoom Into Books Author In this satirical dark comedy of vengeance, Pock is an intellectual who talks to Jesus and to flowers, and they talk back. Facially disfigured and severely disabled since childhood, Pock is released from an Alabama prison after serving every second of a thirteen year sentence for scalping a man who mocked his appearance. Obsessed with revenge against the people who sent him to prison, Pock slowly targets them from the quiet sanctuary of his garden. Two Birmingham cops track a serial killer, not knowing until it’s too late that Pock is their man, and that he is coming for them with Jesus at this side.
