First in the award-winning crime series.
"A bone-cracking first novel." —New York Times
Meet Jack McMorrow, a hard-hitting crime reporter for the New York Times now living in the backwoods of Maine, near the paper plant in Rumford. Jack's there to run the local paper, but when a unpopular photographer is found drowned in a nearby canal, Jack gets drawn into a complicated game that has kept members of the town silenced and in fear for their lives.
Maine may be the place where life is as it should be, but McMorrow finds out staying alive may be harder than he thought.
