Paradise Falls

By Andrea Black

Southern Gothic meets Noir.
A dying secret. A mafia legacy. A journey from the heart of Kentucky to the shadows of the UK.

Woody has spent his entire life believing he was an orphan. Raised by his grandfather in a small Kentucky town, he was the local eccentric-a boy who wore bow ties, spoke in a faked English accent, and hid his bipolar disorder behind a wall of books. But when his grandfather dies, the wall crumbles. His parents aren't dead; they are out there, somewhere, running for their lives.

Armed with nothing but a postcard from a seedy motel called Paradise Falls, Woody sets out on a cross-country odyssey. What he finds isn't just a family-it's a nightmare. From FBI's witness protection to hiding in a remote Welsh church, Woody is thrust into a world of mafia hit-men, psychiatric wards, and buried fortunes.

Now, held at gunpoint by a minister who knows too much, Woody must recount his story to prove he isn't a killer. He's just a son trying to find his way home before the family business kills them all.
