About Deny the Owl An Autistic Loser Attempts to Solve His Mother's Mysteries
"Find my land. Your Uncle Syd stole it. Solve my mysteries...but don't disturb the ghosts!" The asylum passed his deceased mother's note to him with her belongings. Brad, a middle-aged Certified Public Accountant, has lost everything-career, business, family, finances, and home in a bankruptcy. He considers himself a loser and has struggled with autism spectrum disorders all his life. Needing a job, he reluctantly returns to his despised hometown, Williston, North Dakota -home of the Bakken oil bonanza. He quickly gets a job in an accounting office, settles into a new life, and attempts to unlock his mother's mysteries. Uncle Syd evades personal contact and remains mysterious. Brad encounters Desmond, the head of a group of unscrupulous local businessmen. Their new allies-a Las Vegas drug mafia-are initially interested in flipping real estate. The alliance breaks up. A shooting war with the Feds ensues. Brad is reluctantly sucked into it.
