Forty years’ accumulation of art, antiques, and family photographs are more than just objects for Stanley Peke - they are proof of a life fully lived. A life he could have easily lost long ago.
When a con man steals his houseful of possessions in a sophisticated moving-day scam, Peke wanders helplessly through his empty New England home, inevitably reminded of another helpless time: decades in Peke’s past, a cold and threadbare Stanislaw Shmuel Pecoskowitz eked out a desperate existence in the war-torn Polish countryside, subsisting on scraps, dodging Nazi soldiers. Now, the 72-year-old Peke - who survived, came to America, and succeeded - must summon his original grit and determination, to track down the thieves, retrieve his things, and restore the life he made for himself.
Peke and his wife, Rose, trace the path of the thieves’ truck across America, to the wilds of Montana, and to an ultimate, chilling confrontation with not only the thieves, but with Peke’s brutal, unresolved past.

There are a lot of "words" in this novel. What I mean is, much of the narration is describing what the characters are thinking, and WHY they are thinking those things. What has lead them to the place in their lives that causes them to think and feel the things they are thinking and feeling. I found myself being captivated by this at times, but also bored by it at other times. Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the words and descriptions and thought processes that the author wanted to convey. But, once I got the idea of the kind of story Mr. Stone was trying to lay out, most of these things stopped being a nuisance, and began intriguing me more and more.
Some of the storyline is a little far-fetched, and not completely plausible, but THE ENDING was INCREDIBLE!! This is a great story with an absolutely masterful ending. I did not see it coming...at all. I loved it. The narrator did a fabulous job, as well. Very consistent and very good. Overall, a great read!
Up and down...but ended WAY UP!

The publisher's summary gives a good synopsis of the story. The question is what motivates this 72 year-old man to go to extreme lengths to get restitution got the wrong done to him.. He won't be messed with! After all, he survived a desperate and precarious existence in war torn Poland while dodging Nazi soldiers .
Yes, there are aspects of this entertaining story that are unbelievable at least in the real world. But this is entertainment and you must "suspend disbelief" and just enjoy this unusual suspense story. Words that I would use to describe the overall theme of this story are Revenge, Retaliation, and Retribution.
This 72 year-old man will not be messed with! He will pull out all stops to get his revenge!! Christopher Lane narrated very well..
Don't Sell this 72-Year-Old Short !!!

Would you try another book from Jonathan Stone and/or Christopher Lane?
This was my first exposure to author Jonathan Stone and my first read by Christopher Lane. Both delivered in spades and I am a fan. I look forward to future encounters with boys.Has Moving Day turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, if anything it has inspired me to seek out other books in this genre.How could the performance have been better?
I am unable to think of any part that needs improvement. I was captivated both by the book and the reading performance.You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I would love to attend a writing seminar led by Jonathan Stone. This was a brilliant effort.Any additional comments?
I couldn't put this down. The story continued to draw me in further and further. I loved the historical perspective and the juxtapositioning of the protagonist's past and present life. There is no extra flab on this story. Every word is there for a reason. Every character has a role to play and it all is intertwined so well. LOVED THE ENDING!What a Treat!

I listened to this on audio, and the narrator was fine. Overall, the book kept me interested enough to keep going and when I was done, I was glad I stuck with it through some of the slower parts.
