Does Gus Carpenter really want to know what’s inside the
skeleton box? In Anthony– and Barry Award–winning author
Bryan Gruley’s gripping new novel, Gus must decide if the
truth is better off dead and buried. Mysterious
break-ins are plaguing the small town of Starvation Lake.
While elderly residents enjoy their weekly bingo night at
St. Valentine’s Catholic Church, someone is slipping into
their homes to rifle through financial and personal files.
Oddly, the intruder takes nothing—yet the “Bingo Night
Burglaries” leave the entire town uneasy. Worry turns
into panic when a break-in escalates to murder. Suddenly,
Gus Carpenter, editor of the Pine County Pilot, is
forced to investigate the most difficult story of his life.
Not only is the victim his ex-girlfriend Darlene’s mother,
but her body was found in the home of Bea Carpenter—Gus’s
own mother. Suffering from worsening dementia and under the
influence of sleeping pills, Bea remembers little of the
break-in. With the help of Luke Whistler, a former
Detroit Free Press reporter who came north looking
for slower days and some old-fashioned newspaper work, Gus
sets out to uncover the truth behind the murder. But when
the story leads him to a lockbox his mother has kept secret
for years, Gus doesn’t realize that its contents could
forever change his perception of Starvation Lake, his own
family, and the value of the truth.
