Synopsis
Before I even began to draw the skeletal outline of what eventually became this book, the lyrics of the Eagle's 1970's hit song "Lying Eyes" were rattling around from one corner of my mind to the other. Not because of the story line but because of the essence: that choices carry consequences. Unintended consequences. Summed up by the Eagles in one line from their song: "I guess every form of refuge has its price" Four decades after the song hit the top of the charts, one of the many web sites that feature the lyrics of the song, is still reporting over 5,000 hits a month. A tribute, surely, to the durability of Eagles' music. More specifically, I believe a tribute to the essence of the message. Reinforced repeatedly by ongoing tidal waves of events. Reminders that every form of refuge does, indeed, have its price. Choices do, in fact, have consequences. Some unintended. That thread is the one I wanted to pick up and weave into the fabric of this book that I wrote for you, the reader. Thank you for the opportunity to entertain you with the novel that surrounds the message. While the story is fictional, the message is inescapably real.

À propos de l'auteur
Roger C. Petersen retired in October 2008 from a commercial banking career that spanned four decades. He was, at the beginning , a banking grunt whose customers were the poorest of the poor: Native Americans living on an isolated reservation. Along his career pathway, Petersen became a long-term eyewitness to the collapse of America’s value system. It began with a tarnish in the 70’s that turned to decay in the 80’s and 90’s and the follow-on systemic meltdown. Each of those many experiences over all those years left vivid memories, now stuffed in a bag that he carries with him. Petersen lives with Dianne, his wife of nearly a half century on a small rural acreage near DeSmet, South Dakota. Their three grown sons are, or have been, also involved in commercial banking. The grist for the mill is in endless supply.
