Do you know what night crawlers are? They make great bait for fishermen who are not squeamish about dirty hands.This story begins when two boys, age thirteen, decide to earn a little money selling worms to a bait shop and are once again together on the thirtieth anniversary of a life-changing discovery. Wakefield, their town and its people, are a part of who they are, especially for young Dolf, who has two important reasons for his trips from New York City to his boyhood home.You see, he was an orphan and was adopted into an Italian American family who live on the wrong side of the tracks in an area known as the Gulch. His friend, Jay, comes from one of the towns oldest Yankee families, dating way back to the 1600. What do they have in common? Is it just the murders that took place back in August 1958?Have you ever had the opportunity to return to your hometown for more than a few days? Was it as you remember, did anyone recognize you as you walked its wide main street? Are the folks different from people in the big apple? Every time he returns, Dolf has the same questions, who am I and who killed my old neighbors from the Gulch?
