Salvage Rights
Caldmere Garage & Salvage, Caldmere
A small-engine inspector arrives to evaluate Caldmere Garage's salvage inventory — and by end of day, his brand-new torque wrench set has walked off the premises.
Everyone has something to hide.
56. Third-generation Caldmere — fixes everything. Methodical, taciturn, deeply decent. Communicates through grunts and meaningful glances at broken parts. Reads poetry on his lunch break.
33. Married Vic's daughter Sofia, who left for Boston. Stayed because leaving would mean admitting the marriage is over. Restless, competent, frustrated. Drinks a little too much on weeknights.
A French-Canadian transplant who came to Caldmere for the seafood. An extraordinary chef, a terrible businessman. His food is transcendent. His management style is volcanic.
