BOGUS BUSINESS BUREAU
1	Air Eagle	BBB	Transportation	Airlines
	Air Eagle Airline. Vince: "So the records on Mr. Cogan's Wild Ride might be in the files of Air Eagle, out of New York. Or Air Eagle out of Montpelier, Vermont. Or Just Ducky Jets out of Washington, D.C."
2	Annual End-of-Summer General Farms Hayri...	BBB	Events	Fairs and Festivals
	Annual End-of-Summer General Farms Hayride, Picnic and Dance "I don't believe yellow legal pads had been invented in Victorian times," Stephanie said. She shuffled through the papers on her desk. When she had come to Moose-Look and The Weekly Islander in June, they had given her the smallest desk in the place - little more than a grade-schooler's desk, really - away in the corner. In mid-July she had been promoted to a bigger one in the middle of the room. This pleased her, but the increased desk-space also afforded more area for things to get lost in. Now she hunted around until she found a bright pink circular. "Do either of you know what organization profits from the Annual End-Of-Summer General Farms Hayride, Picnic, and Dance, this year featuring Little Jonna Jaye and the Straw Hill Boys?"

4	Bayside News	BBB	Periodicals	Newspapers
	Bayside News Vince grunted and waved a hand at him. Dave continued, unperturbed. " - so I made a little trip downstreet to Bayside News and asked if I could examine a package of cigarettes. My request was granted, and I observed that there was indeed an ink-stamp on the bottom, not a postage-type stamp. I then made a call to the Attorney General's Office and spoke to a fellow name of Murray in a department called Evidence Storage and filing. I was as diplomatic as I could possibly be, Stephanie, because at that time those two dumbbell detectives would still have been on active duty - "
5	Bayview Consolidated High School	BBB	Education	High Schools
	Bayview Consolidated High School But it was Dave who actually began. "Twenty-five years ago," he said, "back in '80, there were two kids who took the six-thirty ferry to school instead of the seven-thirty. They were on the Bayview Consolidated High School Track Team, and they were also boy and girlfriend. Once winter was over - and it doesn't ever last as long here on the coast as it does inland - they'd run cross-island, down along Hammock Beach to the main road, then on to Bay Street and the town dock. Do you see it, Steffi?"

	Breakers Bar.
7	County Memorial	BBB	Healthcare	Hospitals
	County Memorial "You're hittin on all cyclinders, Steff. Cathcart didn't have any X-rays of the Kid's dental work, he wasn't set up for that and saw no reason to send the corpse out to County Memorial where dental X-rays could have been taken, but he noted all the fillings, plus the two crowns. Everything matched. He then went on ahead and sent copies of the dead man's fingerprints to the Nederland Police, who got a tech from the Denver P.D. to go out to the Cogan residence and dust James Cogan's home office for prints."

	Jenny's Bakery Dave: "Devane didn't have any idea of where to go, and by then I was on the wrong side of the tape they'd strung, so I took him down to Jenny's Bakery myself. It took half an hour, maybe a little more, most of it spent ridin, and I got a pretty good idea of how the land lay with that young man."
13	Just Ducky Jets	BBB	Transportation	Airlines
	Just Ducky Jets Airline. Vince: "So the records on Mr. Cogan's Wild Ride might be in the files of Air Eagle, out of New York. Or Air Eagle out of Montpelier, Vermont. Or Just Ducky Jets out of Washington, D.C."

16	Mountain Outlook Advertising	BBB	Services	Advertising and Marketing
	Mountain Outlook Advertising "Jim Cogan went to work at Mountain Outlook Advertising in Denver on Wednesday, April the 23rd, 1980, just like any other Wednesday," Vince said. "That's what she told me. He had a portfolio of drawings he'd been working on for Sunset Chevrolet, one of the big local car companies that did a ton of print advertising with Mountain Outlook - a very valuable client. Cogan had been one of four artists on the Sunset Chevrolet account for the last three years, she said, and she was positive the company was happy with Jim's work, and the feeling was mutual - Jim liked working on the account. She said his specialty was what he called 'holy-shit women.' When I asked what that was, she smiled and said they were pretty ladies with wide eyes and open mouths, and usually with their hands clapped to their cheeks. The drawings were supposed to say, 'Holy shit, what a buy I got at Sunset Chevrolet!'"
17	Preston's Bar	BBB	Nightlife	Bars
	Preston's Bar She could see a boy in shorts and a cut-off Patriots jersey fishing from the trash-littered shingle below Preston's Bar, and a thousand winks of sun glittering off the tin flashing of a hundred village roofs.
18	The Pretty Lisa Cabot	BBB	Vehicles	Watercrafts
	The Pretty Lisa Cabot Fishing boat that washed up on rocks with a dead crew.
19	Red Roof Motel	BBB	Travel	Motels

20	Seaview Cemetery	BBB	Services	Cemeteries
	Seaview Cemetery Where the Colorado Kid was buried.
21	Shop 'N Save	BBB	Retail	Gas Stations
	Shop 'N Save Stephanie laughed. She had seen such drawings, usually in free advertising circulars at the Shop 'N Save across the reach, in Tinnock.
22	The Shuffle Inn	BBB	Travel	Inns
	The Shuffle Inn "I showed everyone at the shop Cogan's picture, including the sweep-up boy. I was convinced he must have bought that pack there, unless he got it out of a vendin machine at a place like the Red Roof or the Shuffle Inn or maybe Sonny's Sunoco. The way I figured, he must have finished his smokes while wanderin around Moosie, after gettin off the ferry, then bought a fresh supply. And Ialso figured that if he got em at the News, he must have gotten em shortly before eleven, which is when the News closes. That would explain why he just smoked one, and only used one of his new matches, before he died."
23	Signature Air	BBB	Transportation	Airlines
	Signature Air Airline. Fixed Base Operator. Vince: "Some FBOs, like Signature Air, are big business - chain operations just like Holiday Inn or McDonald's. Others are seat-of-the-pants outfits with not much more than a coin-op snack machine inside and a wind-sock by the runway."
24	The Straw Hill Boys	BBB	Music	Musicians
	The Straw Hill Boys Musician featured at the Annual End-of-Summer General Farms Hayride, Picnic And Dance.
25	Sunset Chevrolet	BBB	Vehicles	Vehicle Dealerships

27	Tinnock Auto Body	BBB	Vehicles	Automotive Services

28	Tinnock Ferry	BBB	Transportation	Maritime Transport
	Tinnock Ferry He was nodding long before she finished. "Dave and I spent three or four weeks after the Colorado Kid was found - in our spare time, accourse - canvassin motels in what Mr. Yeats would have called 'a widenin gyre' with Moose-Lookit Island at the center. It would've been damn near impossible during the summer season, when there's four hundred motels, inns, cabins, bed-and-breakfasts, and assorted rooms to rent all competing for trade within half a day's drive of the Tinnock Ferry, but it wasn't anything but a part-time job in April, because seventy percent of em are shut down from Thanksgiving to Memorial Day. We showed that picture everywhere, Steffi."
29	Tinnock Funeral Home	BBB	Services	Funeral Homes
	Tinnock Funeral Home Dave said, "Devane was there while the Medical Examiner, Cathcart, got a look at the body: the hand with the sand on it, the hand with none, and then into the mouth, but right around the time the Tinnock Funeral Home hearse that had come over on the nine o'clock ferry pulled up, those two detectives realized he was still there and might be getting somethin perilously close to an education. They couldn't have that, so they sent him to get coffee and doughnuts and danishes for them and Cathcart and Cathcart's assistant and the two funeral home boys who'd just shown up."

	Bay Street Street on Moose-Lookit island.
39	Bayview Hill	Map	Nature	Hills
	Bayview Hill But back in '80 they were hot and heavy, and every day they'd run for the ferry on this side and then up Bayview Hill to the high school on the Tinnock side.
40	Beach Lane	Map	Transit Routes	Lanes
	Beach Lane "I thought I'd start with Ellen Dunwoodie snapping off the fire hydrant on Beach Lane when the parking brake on her car let go. Then, once I'm properly warmed up, I thought I'd move on to a rewrite of my library editorial," Vince said, and cracked his knuckles.
41	Dingle Nook	Map	Water	Bodies of Water
	Dingle Nook Where the Pretty Lisa washed up on the rocks near Smack Island.
42	Hammock Beach	Map	Water	Beaches
	Hammock Beach Where the Colorado kid was found dead.
43	Little Hay Beach	Map	Water	Beaches
	Little Hay Beach "He might have picked it up on the beach," she said thoughtfully. "People find all sorts of things on the beach." She herself had found a woman's high-heel shoe, worn exotically smooth from many a long tumble between the sea and the shore, while walking one day on Little Hay Beach, about two miles from Hammock."
44	Main Street	Map	Transit Routes	Streets
	Main Street Street on Moose-Lookit Island.
45	Moose Cove	Map	Water	Bodies of Water
	Moose Cove Stephanie surveyed the patio, which was still half-full even at twenty past one, and then looked into the main dining room, which overlooked Moose Cove.
46	Moose-Lookit Island	Map	Geographic Areas	Islands
	Moose-Lookit Island Stephanie was from Cincinnati, Ohio, and when she had first come to Moose-Lookit Island to do an internship on The Weekly Islander, she had nearly despaired... which, in downeast lingo, also rhymed with ayuh. How could she learn anything when she could only understand one word in every seven? And if she kept asking them to repeat themselves, how long would it be before they decided she was a congenital idiot - which on Moose-Look was pronounced ijit, of course?
47	Moosie Village	Map	Urban Areas	Cities-U.S.
	Moosie Village Town in Maine: Stephanie could understand that. From Hammock Beach to the edge of Moosie Village was downhill. Going the other way would have been a tougher run, especially when what you had to run on was mostly spent adrenaline.
48	Smack Island	Map	Geographic Areas	Islands
	Smack Island Island near Moose Lookit Island.
49	Tashmore	Map	Urban Areas	Cities-U.S.
	Tashmore Town in Maine. "And a woman wrote a book last year on the poisonin's at that church picnic in Tashmore," Vince finished up. This was the last 'unexplained mystery' they had hauled out for theGlobe reporter over lunch. This was just before Hanratty had decided he could make the one-thirty ferry, and in a way Stephanie guessed she now didn't blame him.
50	Tashmore Lake	Map	Water	Lakes
	Tashmore Lake Location of unresolved poisoning.
51	Tinnock Village	Map	Urban Areas	Cities-U.S.
	Tinnock Village Town in Maine. And, between Tinnock Village - which was actually a good-sized town and Moose-Lookit Island, the sun shone on the bluest water she had ever seen. On days like this, she wondered how she would ever go back to the Midwest, or if she even could. And on days when the fog rolled in and the entire mainland world seemed to be cancelled and the rueful cry of the foghorn came and went like the voice of some ancient beast...why, then she wondered the same thing.
