A Man's Making

Summary

A restless artisan, once adrift in the soot-choked alleyways of an unnamed Eastern seaboard city, claws toward respectability after a prison sentence for forgery; haunted by the ghost-ink of his own counterfeit notes, he reinvents himself as a modest sign-painter in a whistle-stop town, only to be blackmailed by the very accomplice who once betrayed him, forcing a reckoning between the man he pretends to be and the scoundrel he fears still lurks beneath his newly starched collar.
