Mystery Police Procedural
For generations only a few families held title to land in
the isolated
Catskill Mountain community of Hemlock Lake. But with the
turning of the
century one man, lured by easy money, sells his inheritance
to a developer
of luxury homes. As the contractor bulldozes farmland and
forest, neighbors
cry environmental rape, and someone threatens to burn what
is built.
Hoping to stop the arsonist, but tormented by personal
demons, Sergeant Dan
Stone reluctantly returns to his family home on the shores
of the lake. The
previous autumn his wife died in its dark waters and his
brother put a
bullet in his brain. That tragedy sent Dan's father
drifting toward death.
Isolated by his pain, Dan is thrust into the no man's land
between newcomers
and long-time residents who stonewall his investigation
into threats,
graffiti, theft, and a blaze that nearly kills the
construction foreman.
Townspeople blame outsiders, eco-terrorists, a ragged tramp
haunting the
woods and the mysterious creator of rock cairns that often
mark the sites of
crimes to come. But as summer sizzles on, the arsonist
turns killer, and Dan
suspects it's someone he knows well: a firefighter, a long-
time friend, or a
woman with a killing in her past.
