You Can Go Home Again

This book is a work of fiction about a terrible coal mining accident that happened in Hazard, Kentucky during the early 1980's. The date of the accident was about 1982 plus or minus maybe three years. It's hard to pin it down any better than that. But, I can tell you this much, it occurred back when Catherine Bach was playing the role of "Daisy Duke" on a TV show called "The Dukes of Hazzard." What a beautiful woman she was when she walked across my TV screen. Everything about her body was absolutely adorable and, at the time, she just took my breath away. My protagonist in this particular tale is a man by the name of Caleb Baker. He is a Houston widower who has nothing to do since the passing of his wife. His lifelong friend is the Mayor of Hazard, Honorable Herbert Ray Henry who wants him to return to the mountains where he was born and reared. Henry wants it so bad that he has thrown in analytical laboratory and a staff of two talented people. Baker's first case involves a coal mine explosion. So you can go home again.
