Summary

In 1988, a Chicago sportswriter left everything behind to write a novel in a tiny Colorado mountain town — and then vanished without a trace the same week investigators found the body of the mysterious man who'd occupied his storefront the year before. Over 200 searchers, 18 dogs, and a fatal plane crash later, Keith Reinhard was never found — and the question of what really happened still has no answer.
