Description:
In the arid Idaho desert, water is power--and murder is profitable.
Philip Chandler thought he'd traded Boston's violent headlines for small-town tranquility when he took over the Fremont Herald. But that illusion shatters when a prominent couple is brutally killed, pulling Philip back into a world of ruthless avarice. His investigation leads to Basin 63, the underground aquifer that holds all of the valley's water, and a controversial desert development backed by powerful figures determined to protect their secrets at any cost. Exposing the truth won't just threaten Philip's paper--it could cost him his life.
Justice dries up faster than desert rain in this gripping crime thriller by Scott McIntosh. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly and C. J. Box.
