Tourmaline, home to Colson and Ellery
But one day, leafing through the city paper from Tourmaline, the county seat in nearby Greenlea. He saw a small section that said "Men Seeking Men." It didn't say "Queer" and it didn't say "Gay"...but in that column, beneath a string of baffling ads with indecipherable acronyms he saw an ad for the "Red Stallion Men's Bar" and the relatively discreet caption "Men Only." His heart quickened slightly. As ignorant as he was of the Queer World, he knew what that meant, and he took down the address and consulted a map, painstakingly tracing the route southeast along the interstate 285 and then onto the 666 north of Morenci where he had at one time worked in the pit before they closed it.

Investigation that Ellery undertakes to solve the mystery of Adam's death.
“You on some sort of unofficial inquiry, Ellery?”
“You might say. Not much of an inquiry, cause it ain’t much of a case.”
“Do I get ta know?”
“If ya don’t talk about it, sure.”
Wes gave him a disgusted look.
“All right all right. Suspicious motor vehicle death, two years ago. Poorly investigated, an it might be a murder disguised as an accident.”
“And what has this ta do with you?”
“Nothin. It has ta do with Colson. Old lover, disappeared, never got in touch again, an found out later he was dead and never learned why.”

The following morning they brought Colson downstairs for another X-ray, in a wheelchair this time, still not allowing him to walk on his own, but the doctor was still doubtful considering how severe Colson’s pain still was. “There could be a hidden fracture the X-ray just doesn’t pick up. We’d like to keep you another night and do this again tomorrow morning, see how the pain goes.”
And, of course, Colson refused to stay another night, and we all know now about that hidden fracture!
