This is the story that started in 1945 and is about two refugees that left a traveling circus in Hungary at the end of World War II. They were able to sneak aboard a US Liberty Ship in Bremerhaven, Germany on one of the trips going back to the United States. They made their way from New Jersey, traveled down through Memphis, TN, and finally ended up in Billings, Montana.

In 1975, a plan was put in motion by a group of investors that would change the boundaries of the Pawnee Indian reservation. Ten years of very careful planning and collaboration between factions in Florence, Italy; Las Vegas, Nevada; Cheyenne, Wyoming and Fort Collins, Colorado would ultimately give them access to the Pawnee gold - but not mined by the Pawnee Indians. It was a plan so cunning, that organizations in both the United States and Europe weren't going to let anything stand in their way. However, the timings of these events were extremely crucial to its success. The Monarch Ranch was a key ingredient to its success, but when the new owner purchased the ranch two months earlier, they hadn't counted on Rick Benedict, a Professor of European history to be that fly in the ointment. It was a race against time to mine the gold and distribute to certain parties in Europe and the United States, before the Air Force in Cheyenne Wyoming could mount a major investigation, surrounding the seismic disturbances.

When five-year-old Joshua Christopher disappears off the street as he walks to a friend's birthday party, his family if forced to confront the unimaginable. What happened? Why? Who took him? The convicted sex offender caught lurking near the search? Why won't police leave his family, his parents, alone? In his second novel, his first in twenty years, Robert H. Van Wagoner explores a family in extremis tottering at the edge of faith: in God and church, in family, and in marriage, in the institutions that promise safety and meaning. Both lyrical and explosive, The Contortionists unfolds as a page-turning mystery. Van Wagoner's wrenching narrative propels the reader forward, toward the novel's harrowing climax, while deftly unpacking its major themes--mental illness, sexuality, and substance abuse in a culture that would rather not confront them. Does the truth ever set anyone ultimately free? The stakes for Joshua and his family could not be greater.
