His gruesome task is only relieved by the growing affection of Entara, an alien pleasure worker from a matriarchal world. Until, that is, their brief happiness is destroyed, as Entara is called home to an arranged marriage and Willie discovers he is still being stalked by the conspirators he tried to unmask.

On a cold day just before Christmas in 2013, the owner of a wolf dog named Porter, who had kept the animal on a 30-foot chain for the entirety of the short six years of his life, had decided to move away. He was done with his life there and done with Porter. When no home could be found for him, he called a mobile vet to come out and end his life. Fortunately for Porter, and his new family, and all who have come to love him since then, that vet refused to end his life.

But for Jake Kimball, if the timing and circumstances were different, this would be a dream come true. As it is, he’s afraid he agreed too hastily to spend the summer working his way through the mess Isaac Bingham, the old potter - God rest his soul - left behind.
