West Falls Revisited - Paperback

by D. H. Schleicher (Author)

In the fall of 2019, when a drifter returns to his hometown of West Falls and winds up dead, the long-buried skeletons of the town's residents are unearthed. His body is found in the exact spot where in the summer of 1993 the body of a young boy, Robbie Elms, was discovered. Memories of Robbie's life and the aftermath of his brutal murder come flooding back, leaving many in town retraumatized by the past, while others stare down an uncertain future with a global pandemic just around the corner. Meanwhile, Robbie's long-lost sister, Laurel Elms, finds herself returning home from abroad just as everything reaches a boiling point.

Spanning multiple generations and varied points-of-view, West Falls Revisited paints a portrait of a town coming apart at the seams just when it needs to come together the most. Will the residents find a way to move forward, or will they forever be pulled down by their own demons? A reckoning of past, present, and future awaits.
