Jumper III

This is the third book featuring John Cable, also known as ＂Jumper.＂ There is a mystery to solve, but also some laughs along the way.

Jumper is a gentle, big-hearted guy in his mid 20s who lives in a tiny apartment near Colfax Avenue in Denver, Colorado. He was orphaned as a kid but slipped through the social services cracks and wound up living alone, raising himself. He’s not stupid or mentally challenged but his grammar and vocabulary remain stunted. These books are written in his simple, uneducated voice. As with Huck Finn, sometimes that’s funny.

In Jumper III, our hero is thrust into the completely alien (to him) world of professors of English Literature and their feud about the authorship of Shakespeare’s plays. While navigating those dark and mysterious waters, Jumper tries to find a stray dog’s home and solve a murder.
