A New Kiki Lowenstein Novella (extra-extra-long short story that's actually a short book). Trying to patch up a damaged relationship, Kiki agrees to go on a road trip with her old best friend Mert. The destination promises to be a lot of fun, a Watermelon Festival in Vincennes, Indiana. More importantly, Kiki hopes to mend fences by taking a peek into Mert's past. The story that follows is ripped from today's headlines as Kiki gets a firsthand lesson in the burden put on our society by opioid addiction. And it wouldn't be a Kiki story without a crime, would it? Yup. There's a crime.
