In this companion book to The Subject Was Death, Christopher Arch, after impulsively stealing his father's car from a police impound lot with critical evidence in the trunk, finds himself alone and in the middle of Kansas. He is faced with an important decision: Should he return home with the car and face the consequences, or continue west to Denver and carry out his plan of raising money for his father, Edgar, who has been falsely arrested for attempted murder? Christopher decides to go to his father's defense, but once in Denver, he becomes involved in some shady dealings. While Edgar is languishing behind bars, Christopher doesn't have enough money to hire a good criminal lawyer, but he will do most anything to come up with the cash. He meets a woman and believes they are destined for one another because he has been given "the sign." Christopher falls in love and thinks this is the real reason he has been lured to Denver. Like the prodigal son, he risks losing everything - his wife, children and home - all because of a false signal. Will Christopher make the right decisions after all? About the Author: Christopher S. Arch is retired and lives in the Akron, Ohio area. He is inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Charles Dickens and the Apostle Paul. He has finished writing his next two books.
