A Good Place

By Ray Hockamin

He was every cliché, a divorced cop who fell apart and then fell into a bottle, where he swam around long enough to lose his job, his pension, his hope. Then he dried out, and an old friend who owned a detective agency gave him a job. After putting in his year he got his own PI credentials. Now he was like a man new born, and just about as directionless, until he visits a small town in Nevada.

The sign said, Welcome to Copperville, Prettiest Town in Nevada.

Not much truth in advertising thought Leonard. It was true someone had planted flowers around the base of the posts holding up the sign. Colorful moss roses, and a handful of other desert bloomers he didn’t know the names of, formed a long oval, bordered with dusty, red rocks. That was about all the pretty Leonard could see. Nondescript is what he would have called it. Though he supposed that
