The Witwer Files is a story inspired by actual events and tells how the lives ao those involved were forever changed by the events that took place in two short years. In the early 1900's, in a small Midwestern village, local townsfolk were terrorized by uncontrolled violence by a gang called the "river rats." There were unsolved murders and alleged suicides. Those responsible for law enforcement either turned in their badges or disappeared. A set of unusual circumstances brought Charlie Witwer and his three brothers to the village to make the streets safe. The book tells how the lives of those involved were forever, changed by the events that took place in two short years and takes the reader through the struggles of the Witwer family to make a new life in a community divided against itself by an event that almost destroyed the lives of three generations
