What this book is about
Claire Watkins, a newly relocated deputy sheriff in the coulee country of Wisconsin, is drawn into a murder investigation that cuts close to the heart of the tight-knit rural community she has just joined. As she digs into old grudges and hidden histories, Claire balances a single mother's life with the demands of an increasingly dangerous case. Logue's regional mystery combines atmospheric Wisconsin landscape with a thoughtful detective at the center of small-town darkness.
