The Great Appalachian Cafe Heist
by Tara Gabor
Years before Kyle Kinnard relocates to Florida in A Sense for Deception, he travelled the mountains and valleys of Appalachia in a converted school bus. Kyle is a dentist. He likes his profession and how he is able to help people. He doesn’t like being cold, hungry, or stranded and pursued by a band of thieves. He remembers those days as important and meaningful, punctuated with more than one misadventure. When a freak storm makes the road home impassable, Kyle finds himself trapped on a mountaintop with few resources. He takes sanctuary at the cabin of a woman some would call a witch with strange powers, but Kyle grows to call her friend. As danger draws closer, he finds more than simple shelter. He finds no one is an island, and all life is interconnected.
