Book Description
================
The state police of Troop D in rural Pennsylvania have kept a secret 
in Shed B out back of the barracks ever since 1979, when Troopers Ennis 
Rafferty and Curtis Wilcox answered a call from a gas station just down 
the road and came back with an abandoned Buick Roadmaster. Curt Wilcox 
knew old cars, and he knew immediately that this one was...wrong, just 
wrong. A few hours later, when Rafferty vanished, Wilcox and his fellow 
troopers knew the car was worse than dangerous.

Curt's avid curiosity took the lead, and they investigated as best they 
could, as much as they dared. Over the years, the troop absorbed the 
mystery as part of the background to their work, the Buick 8 sitting 
out there like a still-life painting that breathes - inhaling a little 
bit of this world, exhaling a little bit of whatever world it came from.-

In the fall of 2001, a few months after Curt Wilcox is killed in a gruesome 
auto accident, his 18-year-old boy, Ned, starts coming by the barracks. 
Sandy Dearborn, Sergeant Commanding, knows it's the boy's way of holding 
onto his father, and Ned is allowed to become part of the Troop D family. 
One day he looks in the window of Shed B and discovers the family secret. 
Like his father, Ned wants answers...

From a Buick 8 is an audiobook about our fascination with deadly things, 
about our insistence on answers when there are none, about terror and 
courage in the face of the unknowable.
