People say there must have been a terrible scandal in Sundew, but nobody can say exactly what it was. Even people who once lived there don’t know. Of course there were all kinds of rumors. Could it be that some of the residents sank so deep into unimaginable debauchery that the sin had to be wiped clean by divine retribution? It had to be something like that. Why else would the whole town get wiped off the map?
One woman is determined to get some answers.
Wendy Creighton’s job is to understand things like unimaginable debauchery. She’s a university researcher specializing in deviant subcultures. In 1966, in the middle of a rough separation from her husband and a stall in her formerly thriving career, she takes a job as a Visiting Professor at the University of Texas. There she hears a strange story about the mysterious town of Sundew where a popular local beer used to be brewed. Sundew beer still exists, but now it’s made in the town of New Junction. The once-bustling village of Sundew is gone.
Wendy is intrigued by the mystery and decides to take it on as her next research project. Her attempt to figure out what went wrong in Sundew gets tangled up with her attempt to figure out what went wrong in her own life and what got her mixed up in her own version of unimaginable debauchery.
It turns out to be a tough puzzle—maybe too tough even for brilliant sleuth like Wendy.
