For fans of Tana French and Liz Moore comes a brilliant and gripping debut crime novel set in rural Iowa, introducing Sergeant Riley Fisher
Some things don't stay buried.
It starts with a body, a young woman found dead—torn to bits—in an Iowa cornfield on one of the few family farms still managing to compete with the giants of Big Ag. This is the heart of the Corn Belt, where drones spray crops from above and corn is perfected in labs to grow faster, better. When Sergeant Riley Fisher, newly promoted to head of investigations for the Black Hawk County Sheriff’s Office, arrives on the scene, an already horrific crime becomes personal when she discovers the victim was a childhood friend, connected to a traumatic event in her own past.
Fisher’s investigation grows complicated as more victims are found, each murder more harrowing than the last. The crime spree grabs headlines and becomes a factor in the reelection campaign of the governor, a friend of Riley’s father. Suddenly this sleepy part of farm country is at the center of a media storm, and Riley isn’t sure who she can trust anymore.
A breakneck procedural that is beautifully written and masterfully crafted, The Fields is a dynamite debut—crime fiction at its very finest.
