In Born a Ramblin’ Man, Michel Lee Garrett weaves a tapestry of crime, desperation, comedy, and hope, all set against a backdrop of rural despair and big-city corruption. Across fourteen stories, small-time thieves pick the wrong pockets, small-town lives become uprooted by violence, and Michel’s recurring hero Raymond Reynolds grows from a ramblin’ vagabond into a seasoned investigator as he stumbles from one misadventure to the next. From the gritty darkness of the rural south to the neon underbelly of Las Vegas and all the highways in between, Born a Ramblin’ Man celebrates victories, heroes, criminals, and failures in equal measure.
