The Dart League King (978-0-9794198-8-1; $14.95; October 2008) Russell Harmon is the self-proclaimed king of his small-town Idaho dart league, but all is not well in his kingdom. Taking place in a single day, The Dart League King follows five characters at pivotal moments in their lives. In the midst of the league championship match, the intertwining stories of those gathered at the 321 Club reveal Russell's dangerous debt to a local drug dealer, his teammate's involvement in the disappearance of a college student, and a love triangle with a former classmate. The characters in Keith Lee Morris's second novel struggle to find the balance between accepting and controlling their destinies, but their fates are inextricably linked.
