Lake Honor — Alan Brown

The Ozarks is never just what it seems.After staying away for over four decades, co-author Alan Brown returns to the Branson area, to the small, picturesque conservative college of his youth, to close an important chapter in his life.Based on a true story, Alan revisits the haunting details of the deaths of two best friends, whose bodies were discovered at Lake Honor in the fall of 1973. With the help of an Ozarks original, Private Investigator Booger McClain, Alan uncovers the details of the final days of the teenagers, which include more twists and turns than any two-lane highway in the hills. In the end, Lake Honor reflects a place where worlds collide, where time stands still and the weather changes in an instant. It's a place of love and hate, religion and business, where outsiders are welcomed and reviled, and where the clear blue waters hide secrets just beneath the surface.
