Vahanen, Michigan barely exists anymore. The mine closed forty years ago, the population never recovered, and the only thing the town has left is its silence.
Then a man turns up dead at the old mine site, and a state police detective named Webb arrives from downstate to find out why.
He expects a week. He gets nineteen days, three bodies, and a town that would rather bury its past than let a stranger dig it up.
Cold Country: The Ground That Keeps is the first book in the Detective Webb series.
