Gloria, a reporter from Washington, travels to the town of Fairwater, which has canals and stone bridges, to attend the funeral of her old friend Marvin.

Her curiosity leads her deeper into the secrets of the town and into forces she never believed existed. The novel was Oliver Plaschka's debut and was first published by Feder und Schwert in 2007.
