Complex relationships in wild, modern, Northern Nevada.

Jack Ross is a Reno, Nevada, private eye who gets pulled into a case more out of obligation for a friend than need for business. He's asked to find a man believed to be dead for over 40 years. His search leads him through an array of characters and places that are connected by a series of events set off by a murder 40 years earlier. Bernard Schopen captures the feel of the gaming and 'anything goes' side of Nevada while giving image-provoking descriptions of the locations that capture the emptiness, diversity and beauty of Northern Nevada. A very special book.
