Description
Kings of Broken Things A Novel by Theodore Wheeler is set against the tumultuous backdrop of Omaha, Nebraska, in the summer of 1919. As World War I draws to a close, three individuals from disparate walks of life find themselves entangled in a web of racial tension and corruption. A young European refugee discovers his prodigious talent for baseball, while a former violent offender seeks redemption in a criminal underworld. Meanwhile, a kept woman struggles to escape her bleak existence. As the city teeters on the brink of chaos, their lives become inextricably linked with that of a ruthless political boss whose ambition knows no bounds. This novel offers a panoramic view of a city on the verge of implosion, exploring themes of human folly and the consequences of unchecked power.
