Synopsis

In a small town with secrets, a jaded journalist uncovers
a scandal some powerful forces would kill to keep hidden
.

When corporate “restructuring” takes veteran journalist Dugan
Heywood’s newspaper job, he takes a temp gig as a church musician as
a welcome change of pace from his old beat of crime and corruption.
But when a former lover’s sudden death makes him suspect murder
even when the police don’t, Dugan must rely on his old investigative
skills to find answers on his own. His digging soon upsets some
of the rich and powerful in his staid old university town. Does a
scandal that once tore the town apart also lie at the heart of this new
mystery? And are those powerful forces willing to commit murder to
keep their dark secrets from surfacing again?

“Like his hero, David Barber loves a good mystery, and here
he’s written one. A slow burn of red herrings, plot twists
and surprises that will keep you guessing until the end.”
– Wilson Coneybeare, writer-director of the Netflix film American Hangman
and author of the dystopian political thriller A Feast of Wolves
