What to expect
A hippie commune has invaded Black River Falls. While the majority of the townspeople believe that the bohemians have the right to stay—despite how bizarre some of their ways can seem. As always, there is a minority that constantly accuses them of everything from criminal activities to satanism. As usual, lawyer and private investigator Sam McCain finds himself in the middle of the controversy, especially when the teenage daughter of Paul Mainwaring, one of the town's wealthiest men, is found murdered in the commune's barn. A deeply troubled young man, and Vietnam vet named Neil Cameron, is immediately charged with the crime, but Sam has serious doubts.
In this lively and poignant new novel, Ed Gorman offers listeners his richest portrait yet about Black River Falls and its people.
Critics Review
“Social turmoil overshadows the sleuthing in Gorman’s excellent ninth Sam McCain mystery…The real crime, as Sam eventually realizes, is how one generation
exploits the next—while the younger generation devours itself. In turn
mellow and melancholy, this book grapples with problems that are too
complex for any detective to untangle.”
“Gorman, as he has done so well throughout this series, vividly captures the era…[with] a rich background for a cleverly plotted, fast-paced mystery.”
“Read this installment, like all the others for the pop-historical detail and the loving evocation of small-town America.”
“The kind of hero any small town could take to its heart.”
