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.

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.
