At that awful pace we drove the entire twenty-five miles of Tucker’s fence and then back again, pounding the intercom button both times without any sign of the skinheads and their pink truck. As the hours passed, the Roam River, where I could see it, became a beacon of shifting, heartbreaking beauty, the kind of water I fished in my mind.

“Odd,” I said at last, when our final miles had failed to produce any trace of neo-Nazi fence minders.

“What isn’t odd around here?”

“And this too,” I said, as we backed up in tourist traffic on 89 in front of Sorgensen’s Fly ‘n’ Float. “This surprises me.”

Hilarious Sorgensen’s rusty conversion van waited in the opposite lane for a chance to turn in. The big man was at the wheel, jabbering away, chucking peanuts in like punctuation marks. The odd thing, to me, was that his girl Lyndzee—represented by a plume of cigarette smoke and a tangle of too-bronze hair—rode in the passenger seat.

“Short trip to Memphis,” I said. “Travel time, she couldn’t have been there much more than twenty-four hours. Not much for a family visit.”

“Hmm,” Aretha said, seeming distracted. “Maybe they weren’t home.”
