Summary
Buddy Jr. gets a letter from the FBI: his father's decapitated skull has been found near the old Threadgoode house and the Cafe where he grew up. Before he was born, his Aunt Idgie told everyone that Frank Bennett had been killed by a Brinks Truck, leaving the pregnant Ruth Jameson behind. Growing up, he heard whispers about his father disappearing. But neither his Mother nor his Aunt would tell him anything about the man. Twelve years ago, Frank Bennett's truck was found in the nearby river. Even after she was arrested, Buddy never thought Aunt Idgie actually could have been involved in his father's death. He agreed with the Judge, Frank Bennett probably got drunk and drown himself. But his father had been murdered. When he thinks about it, didn't that whole "Dill Pickle Gang" pride themselves on their ability to lie? How many adventures with his Aunt ended with him promising not to tell his mother? Did the woman who helped raise him ever tell the truth? Someone in Whistle Stop, someone he probably knew, had killed his father. Was Idgie a murderer as well as a liar?
