Zenith Rising
by Michael Goodell
The city of Zenith is dying, and only Narrows Burton seems to care. He is trying to rebuild the city, one house at a time, changing lives and fortunes along the way. There’s nothing funny about Narrows, except his name. That’s why everyone calls him Burt. Everyone except his ex-wife, Cindy, who insists on calling him Narrows. She also says he’s “never, ever, done a single thing wrong.” If that’s the case, why is the Grasslands Alliance trying to destroy his building project? Why are they rioting at City Hall? Why is everybody, including three soccer moms, suing him? And why is the SEC investigating him for insider trading?
Sometimes when you try to do the right thing, you end up stepping on the wrong toes.
