A Decade of Beads: A Haunting Midwestern Noir (The Urchin Horde Thrillers Book 1)
Product Description
"Slow-burning, character-based crime drama, the star of which is the author’s eloquent and lyrical style." -- Matt McAvoyHe spent years keeping the books. He just never asked who was paying.When a body washes up on the riverbank downstream from him, retiredaccountant Forest Frost recognizes the weight of it immediately. Not the crime.The obligation. The kind that builds quietly over a decade of deliberateignorance and arrives one morning with nowhere left to hide.What follows is a methodical, gripping unraveling. A seasoned detective huntingfor the one clean sentence that explains what happened. A criminal operation soperfectly disguised inside the ordinary commerce of the Midwest that nobodythought to look twice. And a woman running it all with the kind of cold, practicedprecision that only comes from a lifetime of knowing the game.But when Forest starts pulling threads that no one else thought to pull, theinvestigation shifts. The case lurches from a quiet riverbank into something farmore dangerous, with stakes that stretch far beyond a single body in thecurrent.This is crime fiction at its most intelligent. Cerebral and atmospheric, with theslow, deliberate burn of an investigation that earns every revelation. Every factis a bead on a rosary, dragged toward a truth that no one wanted to find.The question is not whether the operation will fall. It is what falls with it.Buy now or read it on Kindle Unlimited! Read more
