Grant Bell's Golden Goat

SHOULD WE STOP FEELING ANGRY AND RESENTFUL TOWARD SOMEONE FOR A MISTAKE THEY''VE MADE? IT''S NOT EASY TO FORGIVE A PERSON WHO HAS SINNED AGAINST US. DO WE DESERVE TO BE FORGIVEN FOR WRONGS WE HAVE COMMITTED? BEING SAVED FROM SIN AND EVIL IS THE ONLY TRUE REDEMPTION.

Brock Skinner and his wife Maude always took Grant Bell for a harmless, if slightly eccentric, regular at their winery in Hazard, Kentucky. But ever vigilant for adventure and injustice, Brock is skeptical when he presses Grant for details about his past. How did he get the cash to buy a large parcel of property nearby, and build a house on it fifty years ago, just after he turned eighteen?

Meanwhile, west of Hazard, Lamar Leetman has returned from California to open a high-end car detailing business in his hometown of London, Kentucky. Brock and Lamar soon bond over their appreciation for luxury cars, but when a long-hidden secret is discovered on Grant Bell''s property, it''s their shared excitement at solving the mystery that unites them as fast friends. Upon investigating, they come to realize that Grant Bell''s golden goat is only a small piece of a much bigger puzzle involving a stolen government artifact, a New York mobster, crypto mining, and even, it seems, a murder.

They enlist Brock''s brother-in-law, Marcel, to help put the pieces together, and the three of them begin colliding with those wrapped up in the affair, including a retired FBI agent, a pastor and her daughter, and the owner of what might be the best gourmet steakhouse in Kentucky, right off the highway, in the middle of nowhere. Brock''s relentless pursuit of the truth takes him to Ohio, West Virginia, and Arkansas to right the wrongs that an incident, decades ago, put into motion.
