<p>From the writer of <i>Ken’s Corner<\/i>. Same place, new dirtbags. <\/p>
\n<p>Maggie is burnt out on her old political job and is running away from her problems by way of fly fishing, until dead bodies keep inconveniently popping up in her river. Robbie, a demoralized cop on the case, finds it suspicious that everyone is quick to write off these mysterious deaths as hiking accidents. It’s not the wilderness; it’s the Dunk River. A farmhouse or a road or a friendly Islander is never more than a ten-minute walk away.<\/p>
\n<p>After he finally convinces Maggie to go on a date with him, he has a proposal \u2014 if she’ll help him switch careers to become a lazy politician with a pension, he’ll help her get her private investigator license. Then she can solve the case of the floating dead and shore up her dwindling finances.<\/p>
\n<p>Leads run dry until they find a young woman lost in the woods who is traumatized into silence, but still alive. Maggie suspects this woman’s history holds the secret to the <i>Dunk River Murders<\/i>, but finding the truth involves untangling a web of mob deals. There is only one person she can turn to for help \u2014 her dirtbag old boss Jesse Root.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
