Constable Eric Teasdale of Brandybuck Township, Ohio is up to his neck in shenanigans. A school bus left on a millionaire’s front lawn. A crocodile leashed to a seat. A Wafflehouse customer headbutting a windshield. A newly bald naked man. A stolen car stranded on a decrepit roller coaster. Somewhere in all of this is James Floren, aged forty-eight, of Gainesville, Florida. He went missing late last week and just might be in quiet lake community. Help Teasdale find the Florida man amidst the chaos to restore the calm to Brandybuck.

From author Jim Winter comes this short installment in his “Celloverse”, set in and around the fictional city of Monticello, Ohio.
