In the arid Idaho desert, water is power—and murder is profitable.
Philip Chandler thought he'd traded Boston's violent headlines for small-town tranquility when he took over the Fremont Herald. But that illusion shatters when a prominent couple is brutally killed, pulling Philip back into a world of ruthless avarice. His investigation leads to Basin 63, the underground aquifer that holds all of the valley's water, and a controversial desert development backed by powerful figures determined to protect their secrets at any cost. Exposing the truth won't just threaten Philip's paper—it could cost him his life.
Justice dries up faster than desert rain in this gripping crime thriller by Scott McIntosh. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly and C. J. Box.
