In 90,000 words, 25 chapters and an epilogue, Northtown Blitz comprises a look at a small town’s secret sins from one honest, but deluded, man’s eyes. Beneath this quiet town on the shores of Lake Erie lie the same corruption, malevolence, greed, and chaos that one could find in any big-city story. It’s also a story of self-discovery as Raimo Jarvi reached the end of his tether, psychologically speaking, and is forced through his own weaknesses and strengths to discover who and what he is.
