Forty Years of Municipal Sins

Gary Belanger keeps Kinnaway, Michigan upright with duct tape, stubbornness, and eleven miles of sewer nobody thanks him for. Nine days before the Perch Jubilee, a raccoon bites him, a consultant moves to dissolve his department, his wife won't say how she'll vote, and his father — foreman before him, now in memory care — announces on live AM radio that he buried something under the bandshell in 1971. Small towns keep big secrets. Gary is about to dig one up.
