Chapter Seven
At Home With Turk
The Turk’s estate lay on a ten-acre island in the northwestern corner of Lake Winnipie. It was accessible only by boat and the only dock on the lake was served by the only road that led there. Large barbed wire topped fences along the shore of the island discouraged intruders, as did the seventy four year old man who served as Turk’s groundskeeper. The old man and his wife lived there year-round. They protected and maintained his domain. There was electrical service to the island through an underwater cable, but no telephone.
