After decades toiling in academic obscurity, the Harvard professor has a book on the bestseller list. To capitalize on his sudden fame, Homer&rsquo;s editor demands another book, and fast. Homer is working on<i> Steeplechase</i>, a tour of churches in and around his little patch of Massachusetts, and at his editor&rsquo;s request he goes searching for some ancient gossip to spice up his new work. What he finds is a baffling Reconstruction-era mystery.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Hot-air balloons, nursery rhymes, and the great chestnut tree in the village of Nashoba all form part of Homer&rsquo;s ancestors&rsquo; thrilling story. As the tale shifts between 1868 and the present day, a picture emerges of a small-town Massachusetts that&rsquo;s hardly changed, and a secret which, if it weren&rsquo;t for Homer, may have stayed buried for all time.</div></div>
