Mystery | Suspense
WHEN GRACIE McBRIDE, the wild girl who had left town
eighteen years earlier, is found dead in an apparent suicide
shortly after her homecoming, it sends shock waves through
her native Starvation Lake. Gus Carpenter, executive editor
of the Pine County Pilot, sets out to solve the mystery with
the help of his old flame and now girlfriend, Pine County
sheriff deputy Darlene Esper. As Gus and Darlene
investigate, they can’t help but question if Gracie’s
troubled life really ended in suicide or if the suspicious
crime-scene evidence adds up to murder. >But in such a small town it’s impossible to be an impartial
investigator—Gracie was Gus’s second cousin; Darlene’s best
friend; and the lover of Gus’s oldest pal, Soupy Campbell.
Yet with all the bad blood between Gus and Gracie over the
years, Gus is easily distracted by other problems. His
employer is trying to push him out, the locals are annoyed
that his stories have halted construction on a new hockey
rink, and Darlene’s estranged husband has returned to
reclaim his wife. When Gus tries to retrace Gracie’s steps to discover what
happened to her in the eighteen years she was away from
Starvation Lake, he’s forced to return to Detroit, the scene
of his humiliating past. And though he’s determined to find
out what drove Gracie back home, Gus is unprepared for the
terrible secrets he uncovers.
