UTOPIA FALLS
A Jeremy Hudson Mystery
[ Utopia Falls is a book in progress. This is Installment One. If you want more, let me know.]
When a series of brutal murders rocks the calm of the small upstate town of Utopia Falls, where native inhabitants--"Old Falls"--who have lived in the Falls for generations bitterly resent the “New Falls” residents--straight & gay antiques dealers, artists, actors, musicians, celebrities and wealthy newcomers--who have made the once sleepy town an elegant and chic destination, Jeremy Hudson, a young writer recently arrived from New York, is determined to discover the source of this animosity and who has chosen murder to further set "Old Falls" against "New Falls."
He becomes convinced the answer lies far back into the city’s past and as he delves into long unread newspapers and examines dusty manuscripts, he discovers evidence of a grim and brutal criminal past extending back to the founding of the city, including a series of murders shockingly similar to those of high-profile New Falls residents that have created a climate of fear among the new residents. The fear becomes hysteria when two prominent Old Falls residents are also found dead.
The question is obvious: can the past predict the present? But how many people have to die before he finds the answer? He realizes that only he can discover the identity of the killer, shrouded in the darkness of the past, who is waiting to kill again.
