RISA AND THE DOG, AND THE ASPEN
TWO-MILLION WINNER-TAKE-ALL
Set in the present, in my hometown of Aspen, Colorado, our story concerns a good-looking, amiable young guy named Morgan, who winds up being held responsible for the accidental death of his beautiful next-door neighbor Risa’s dog.
Risa decides, in a fit of pique, to sue Morgan for a million bucks, and while she’s at it, to ask the judge to throw Morgan out of town forever. (A cheap and effective form of frontier justice which worked well here, up through the early 1970′s.)
Morgan, in a panic, grasps at the idea of winning a clandestine 2-million-dollar winner-take-all golf tournament– held on the Aspen Golf Course– to salvage something out of the mess.
Complications, as they say, arise.
What follows are the first four chapters (40 pages) of the book. Hope you enjoy them.
