Linnbert Cheese Oliver, hard-luck high school basketball hero in the northwestern town of North Fork, is missing on a late-night ferry. And for real estate agent Ernie Creekmore, his father figure, friend, and former coach, the news hits hard. Ernie's suffered too much loss and pain in his life"his wife, a state basketball championship, a mysterious medical malady"and he just can't accept the idea that Cheese might have taken his own life.
