At age forty six years US author Poe Ballantine ends
his nomadic lifestyle and brings his beautiful wife from Mexico to Chadron,
Nebraska, and becomes a father to a son who may be autistic. His neighbor, a
math professor at Chadron State College, disappears and three months later is
found burned to death and tied to a tree in the woods. What happened to him? Was
it murder? Suicide? Poe and a cast of memorable characters from Chadron aim to
find out.
