Jerry Parrish’s New Book “Steel Toes and Teeth” is an Intriguing Mystery Story of an Undercover Reporter Looking Into Suspicious “Accidents” at a Train-wrecking Yard
BASEHOR, Kan. (PRWEB) May 04, 2018 -- Jerry Parrish, a former train-wrecking yardman who lives in Basehor, Kansas, with his wife, has completed his new book “Steel Toes and Teeth”: a gripping mystery story set in a hazardous train-wrecking yard.
Author Parrish brings to life the backbreaking reality of train-wrecking yard work with all the flair of a veteran: “Once they got used to it, they found busting rail wasn’t hard as long as you hit the opposite side of the torch cut. Now it made sense to Dan why they only cut halfway through the rails to save time. It was just the continuous swinging of the hammer in the hot sun that was wearing him out. They were working in the hottest part of the day, and the temperature was well above one hundred degrees. Monroe gave out first. His wiry old body hung in there pretty well, but he just couldn’t keep up with the youth alongside him. He dropped his hammer and told the others he was going to find John and Dave to see if he could get everyone some water. Dan was glad to hear that since they had been swinging the hammers nonstop for over an hour.”
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Jerry Parrish’s new book is a rollicking detective tale that pits a persistent underdog reporter facing down a larger threat behind the life-threatening incidents at the railways. The grit, danger, and urgency Palmer faces is amplified against the merciless backdrop of train-wrecking yardwork, which the author knows firsthand as the most physically demanding job he’s ever had to do.
