SYNOPSIS:  286 pages. "Fiddler's Green" is slang for a place where: " the imagined Elysian Field of sailors and vagabond craftsmen- where credit is good where there's many a lass and many a glass and never a stormy sea." This story tells the tale of Hamil Linder, Norwegian-American fisherman working his boat up and down the Pacific Coast out of San Francisco, living by the brawn of his body, directness of his mind, and the quality of his heart; Hamil's only son, Carl, blond and big like his father, working with his father only because a judge in criminal court had forced him to a rebel and a tragedy for Hamil Linder; and Bruno Felkin, a wise guy who thought he knew all the answers until a police dragnet forced him on board Hamil Linder's boat, out to sea, and into contact with a kind of man and a kind of life he hadn't known existed.
