John Billheimer
Not much happens in Contrary, West Virginia—a sleepy town with failing coal mines, a few old moonshine stills, and an urgent need for revenue. A federal grant for a nonexistent bus system seemed just the ticket…if only the government auditor, sent to look things over, hadn’t drunk too much white lightning. And ended up dead.
