Series Volume Number1
Synopsis"Riveting." -- People In this "compelling and heartbreaking debut that marks a new and important voice in the mystery genre" (William Kent Krueger), a murder with ties to America's opioid epidemic reveals the dark underbelly of an idyllic Midwestern resort town. Eli North is not okay. His drinking is getting worse by the day, his emotional wounds after a deployment to Afghanistan are as raw as ever, his marriage and career are over, and the only job he can hold down is with the local sheriff's department. And that's only because the sheriff is his mother--and she's overwhelmed with small town Shaky Lake's dwindling budget and the fallout from the opioid epidemic. The Northwoods of Wisconsin may be a vacationer's paradise, but amidst the fishing trips, campfires, and Paul Bunyan festivals, something sinister is taking shape. When the body of a teenage boy is found in the lake, it sets in motion an investigation that leads Eli to a wealthy enclave with a violent past, a pharmaceutical salesman, and a missing teenage girl. Soon, Eli and his mother, along with a young FBI agent, are on the hunt for more than just a killer in this thriller that is "not to be missed" (Mindy Mejia, USA TODAY bestselling author).
