A local basketball star in a small Ohio town tries to remake his life in middle age, but instead must confront a murderer and the prospect of leaving his hometown and giving up everything that once gave his life meaning.

Duke Ducheski is a likeable character with a few good friends and admired by many of the locals. But his personal life is a mess so he slowly works on making changes. When his best friend gets in trouble with the Mafia, Duke helps him but then he gets in trouble. I’m generally not interested in the Mafia, but I did like Duke and his friendships, his devotion to his invalid son and his drive for a better life, plus some dark humor sprinkled throughout. The story was bittersweet and I liked it.… (altro)

Wow

I didn’t know what to expect. This story was so moving without being saccharine sweet or trite. I still have questions but don’t want to give anything away by asking.

Best story I've read lately.
Set in 1971 in small town Ohio, it follows two best friends through their final years in high school. Part high school life, but mostly investigating the mysterious death of one friend's mother twenty years prior. The investigation and timeline are both believable. Well worth the read.
