Emerson Goes Reno
An Emerson Adventure
by Arthur Flavell
Emerson Francis Whitman, whose parents are great admirers of philosophy—and philosophers—is the technical representative of Primary Pulse Energy Systems of Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. He travels to a variety of shows and expos to assist distributors of the company’s product line. The work is pleasant and relatively undemanding, allowing him to travel across the country in a leisurely fashion, accompanied by his wife Priscilla Jeanette, aka PJ.
Unfortunately, Emerson also demonstrates a propensity for becoming entangled in sticky situations… through absolutely no fault of his own.
Enroute to “the Biggest Little City in the World” to attend the Southwest Energy Expo, the travelers find themselves spending an unexpected night in the desert near Reno. In the wee hours of the morning, Emerson comes face-to-face with the spirit of a powerful medicine woman seeking assistance from outside the people of her tribe. This is an unusual occurrence, but one which promises growth in both spirit and understanding for all parties involved. Emerson and PJ soon find themselves enmeshed in a web of greed, intimidation, murder, and threats of domestic terrorism.
