Produktbeschreibung
Farm foreclosures and protests rock southern Minnesota in 1984 when newspaperman Boston Meade learns his summer intern lies dead in a ravine. He believes the intern was murdered to protect whoever killed the Minneapolis detective whose bones he found at a derelict farmhouse. But key evidence is missing. The town's leaders were hostile to the research, including Boston's brother, the Alton County sheriff. When he dismisses the detective's death as a motive, Boston takes up the intern's research. He works alone except for Ginger O'Meara, the editor he just hired, but her memories of his old betrayals make her loyalty tenuous. Chasing a killer, they uncover a criminal web that touches everyone in town. And while they are running for their lives, they are compelled to face the betrayals that separated them.
Autorenporträt
Newell Searle grew up on a southern Minnesota farm, and his writing includes a variety of pieces on Minnesota's history, culture and natural environment. Copy Desk Murders was his first novel in a mystery series set in southern Minnesota during the 1980s farm crisis, a period when he worked in agricultural organizations. After a vocational school education, he received a B.A. from Macalester College. His first book, Saving Quetico-Superior, was an award-winning narrative of wilderness protection. He continued writing while working as a public affairs professional in corporate, government and nonprofit organizations. Now he writes wherever he is, at his home in Minnetonka, volunteering in Mexico or at a forest cabin north of Lake Superior.
