"Following an Easter dinner of ham, peas, and creamed potatoes, Charles 'Le Cowboy' Bellemare pinched a twenty from his sister, drove to a crack house in Verdun, and vanished. That summer the crack house was sold up-market. That winter the new homeowners grew frustrated with the draw in their fireplace. On Monday, February seventh, the man of the house opened the flue and trust upward with a rake handle. A desiccated leg tumbled into the ash bed." -Cross Bones by Kathy Reichs
