Despite his mother's deathbed warning that he should never visit Gowanus (Go-wah'-nus) Falls, Ben travels to his mother's hometown and stumbles into the media frenzy surrounding a collection of mummified bodies discovered only hours before his arrival. In light of the gruesome discovery, the innocent curiosity and questioning about his mother's life leads to suspicion from the residents, threats from local officials, and a trail of bodies. This is a story of murder, joy, laughter, bastards, bullies, and revenge. Tag along with an emotionally constrained protagonist as he falls into a nest of quirky characters who help him uncover the sinister details routinely overlooked by the distraction of colorful fall foliage in a sleepy little town.
