Synopsis

Enter the world of Heather Rolland's quietly powerful debut novel, and you'll enter a world where seeking leads to finding, and losing just might mean keeping. An introverted mystery, peopled with quirky characters and laced with offbeat humor, "Finders, Seekers, Losers, Keepers" is the story of one woman's journey into another woman's past. Halia Frank meets friends at The Blue Eft for drinks, partaking in the community available to thirty-something professional women in sub-rural upstate New York. When Joann, a family friend, disappears, Halia just can't let it go. Seeking Joann sends Halia criss-crossing New York State, and back and forth across the past 50 years, seeking the answer to the riddle of the place with no address. Helped along the way by the likes of Jacques Jogue, the prescient teenage bric-a-brac salesman, or Dr. Silas Nase, Joann's most recent collaborator and confidante, Halia's search skirts the edges of magical realism, all the while maintaining its page-turning mysterious integrity. Along the way, the crew at The Blue Eft holds court on such topics as Freecycling, Gorgo, the Philmontian Coati, and Beckerman's sublime trumpet. Join the regulars at the bar, order yourself an alizarin smoke, and be a part of Halia's search for Joann. There's no telling what you'll find.
