Over Tumbled Graves - A Gripping Crime Thriller by Jess Walter
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
"Riveting. . . . Without ever taking the easy way out, the book explores the battle of good vs. evil on very human terms." --Washington Post Book World
Dark in mood and rich in character, Over Tumbled Graves by #1 New York Times bestselling author Jess Walter is a viscerally gripping thriller that explores the depths of criminal investigation and human nature.
Detective Caroline Mabry's Darkest Case
During a routine drug bust on a narrow bridge over white-water falls in Spokane, detective Caroline Mabry confronts a brutal murderer face-to-face. Within hours, the body of a young prostitute appears on the riverbank nearby. What begins as a single case rapidly escalates into a hunt for a serial killer who communicates through violence.
Partnered with cynical detective Alan Dupree, Caroline navigates the investigation while uncovering hard truths about their profession and each other. This police procedural examines our cultural fascination with pathology and murder, staring it down with unflinching honesty.
