Noel, a housekeeper, is found to be guilty of murdering his creditors, burning their house down and stealing important documents. Yet something feels amiss, as a look down the lives of people in the town shows that things are much larger than they seems to be. NOTE: This story is told in reverse. Dates of each incident are provided before each chapter for convenience. This way of writing was chosen to tell a more convincing, followable, and interesting narrative, as I feel how it all began is a more satisfying conclusion than how it ends.
