Who better to search for the killer than St. Adele's reluctant constable, John McIntire?The trail he must follow branches off like the spokes of a wheel, in multiple directions, leading to multiple dead ends.

And Bambi's mentor on a summer's search for uranium, a hot prospect in Flambeau County, is more conversant with archaeological artifacts than Geiger counters.McIntire's investigation takes him from the haunts of the affluent visitors, to the backwoods camp of a Rube Goldberg hermit, and finally to an abandoned gold mine where he learns what really happened that summer's night....
