But this winter is my chance to say goodbye. To remember a man who’d loved tales of Montana lore.Taking a temporary teaching job seemed like the perfect way to keep myself busy on lonely days.

Not only is his son my student, but his life is rooted in Montana, while mine is headed . . . anywhere else.Yet as I uncover a trail of strange clues Dad left behind about a lost legend of Montana gold, staying away from Cosi is not an option.
