So when the chance of a lifetime comes along, Weatherall doesn&’t even bother quitting his day job. He simply disappears. When he learns he&’s his grandfather&’s sole heir—though he hardly knew him—Weatherall&’s life is forever changed. The supposedly mad old man died in Canada, frozen to death in a shack on the edge of a mountain, where he lived his final years in a feverish hunt for oil.
