Learn moreSet in 1959, the year the music died, The Smoke in Our Eyes is a cinematic, clock-ticking saga set in a small Montana town. When a fatal car accident shatters ten-year-old Lucas's world, he finds himself confronting crime and vengeance, humor and heroism, all against the backdrop of growing up. Alongside the tightly written drama of Lucas and his family, Grady, author of the classic Condor series, evokes a heady mood and sense of place. From the Space Race and the first warnings of global climate change to the brutal racism of segregation and the hope of a new generation to move us forward, The Smoke in Our Eyes is a fresh rending of rural noir that captures both an intimate story and the volatility of mid-century America.
James Grady is the award-winning author of more than a dozen novels and three times as many short stories. His first novel, Six Days of the Condor, became the classic Robert Redford movie Three Days of the Condor and the current Max Irons TV series Condor. A Mystery Writers of America Edgar finalist, he has received Italy’s Raymond Chandler Medal, France’s Grand Prix Du Roman Noir, Japan’s Baka-Misu literature award, and two Regardie's magazine short-story awards.
Pete Cross is an award-winning audiobook narrator and engineer who earned his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts.

Reviews
"Set in 1959, this beautifully written coming-of-age story about 10-year-old Lucas Ross, who lives in Montana, is affectionately narrated by Pete Cross. Cross’s plain delivery and sincere tone allow listeners to step into Lucas’s shoes as he discovers the joys and revelations of adolescence." - Audiofile Magazine Expand reviewsClover Daydreams is proud to partner with Libro.fm to give you a great audiobook experience.
