Glendive, Montana was, without a doubt, her kind of town.

She was the noisome mother of a pregnant teenage bride.

Shortly after nine, she showed up at the poolhall.  She had on a yellow sweatshirt from one of the casinos in West Wendover, Nevada.  Her pool cue case was emblazoned with the image of a scorpion.

First thing she asked the manager was why the hell they still hadn’t fixed that flickering fluorescent tube over the back corner table.
