Boys of Babylon

In Midwestern fashion, dark secrets are covered up and disguised as quaint diners, candy shops, and beautiful vacation homes. During the summer of 2004, like every year, tourists make their way into town. However, this year, six pubescent boys take advantage of several unsuspecting vacationers, sending them to a watery grave on a popular recreational river. This rite of passage turns on the town when tragedy strikes one of their own. The children’s parents are forced to come face to face with the sadistic games of their once “sweet angels.” But how does one handle a child without coming to terms with such a twisted reality in a place where no one wants to confront their demons?

She had put in her twenty-five years and was more than ready to become a contented Vermont recluse, if only her neighbor would let her be. And then there were those annoying calls from that guy Robinson – and soon Jill was drawn into the same web of treachery and conspiracy that would lead her and Bill to the brink of death.
Will the quiet Vermont landscape and mountains of Washington State hide their secrets for another half century? Will the truth of a decade old crime come to light – and will anyone have proof? Can anyone really break the web of fear and hate and destroy the spiders that weave it?
