BOOK ONE: ASHER TOWN

The History of Asher Town

In 1920, Asher Town was named after Sir Christopher Asher the First, after the town was called Hopeville. Sir Asher built a prison and an asylum in the town because of his wife who was attacked and became mentally ill. Most of the town’s people became happy that the crime rate fell, and also some family members have a place for the mentally challenged relatives to go to. Other persons in the community said that Sir Asher is a con man, a liar, a fake and a murderer because back then he didn’t get to have his own way and always like the easy way in and out. The rebels strike and Sir Asher tries to prove to the community that they are wrong, and look what he have done to make the town safe, but the rebels refuses the truth. One night, Sir Asher was assassinated in his bed while his wife was found dead choked on her own vomit. The mayor therefore named the town after him because he have done the most for the town. But the Rebels got angrier and caused a rebellion.

Within the second Generation in 1961, Christopher Asher II and his wife tried keeping the legacy but the rebels didn’t give up. Christopher asked for a mutual agreement with the Rebels to run the prison and do what they want while he apologizes and beg for forgiveness and paid what they can to them so all can stop and move forward smoothly. Later in 1964 and 1970 Asher II and his wife had 2 children, a son and a daughter but they were both sent off into the city for a better life and understanding for what is out there. Couple years after in 2015 Asher II died ill, and his wife killed herself. After that, there were no major crimes that happened over the years.

In the year 2020, Christopher Asher III and his wife Linda, came back home to celebrate the 100th year Anniversary of the Asher Town, and have a grand celebration inviting family, friends, and the town, and 16 strangers who have won the interview and test to visit the town of an unsolved mystery and also for them to compete for $500,000 that was left by the Asher Family to see who could solve who murdered his grandfather. That night, got crazier.
