Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Levon Brooks, a charming and optimistic man, had been working as a night guard at the Santa Barbara Club in Macon, Mississippi. The early '90s were the club's heyday. Old school blues musicians still played at the more established juke joints, but the Santa Barbara lacked authenticity. #2 Brooksville, Mississippi, was a quiet old prairie town with old-fashioned homes softened by an even spread of shade. It was the home of the Santa Barbara, which provided the three men with a variety of marketable skills and a semi-steady income. #3 Justin Johnson, a man with schizophrenia, was able to walk past a sleeping man and enter the house where he found three-year-old Courtney Smith sleeping on the floor. He picked her up and left. It was that easy. #4 By the time William Smith came home between two and two thirty a. m. , Courtney was already gone. He saw his brother Tony asleep on the couch, in front of a television now broadcasting static. He glanced into the girls' bedroom and noticed something amiss, but didn't make much of it.
