When Heroes Fall is a brutal story about three characters whose socially divergent lives would have never crossed had it not been for the dead fields of World War One. The reader will realize that within us all is not only the capacity to be a hero but a villain as well. Covering a variety of issues during the Gilded age, When Heroes Fall explores gang violence in Hell's Kitchen NYC, corruption of big business in Chicago, and family strength and unity in the mountains of Western North Carolina, all tying the characters together around the battlefields of France, and grisly murders from their past. As their pasts quickly catch up with them, will they have the courage to face the demons, or cower to them?
