Summary of ken englade's a family business

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When David Sconce, with his wide, easy smile, blond, curly hair, Paul Newman-blue eyes, and broad, solid shoulders, arrived in Hesperia in 1986, he was a remarkable catch for the community. But it was a marriage that both the bride and the groom would come to regret. #2 In October 1986, David started a small manufacturing business in Hesperia called Oscar's Ceramics. He claimed he was making heat-resistant tiles for the space shuttles, but in reality he was making ceramic tiles that he sold to the NASA astronauts. The smell from his factory was extremely foul, and many people complained about it. #3 The smell at Oscar's Ceramics was suspicious to many, but David Sconce insisted it was not from ceramics manufacturing. Some believed the smell was coming from corpses being cremated, and fire marshal Wilbur Wentworth was among them. #4 The fire marshal, Wentworth, was suspicious of Oscar's Ceramics from the start. He had suspicions that the building was being used as a crematorium, but he was not sure. He took some of the ash that was in the barrels and sent it to the sheriff's office to be analyzed.
