Nothing Lives Here

By Ian Mathieu

"-A remarkable portrait of the linked crises of alcohol abuse, domestic violence, and the the prevalence of illicit, destructive drug culture in rural communities." -WES MILLER, Editor of over a dozen New York Times Best Sellers

"I do not cry for those who move on.
I cry for those left behind to miss them."

Devil's lake has been rising for over two decades, reclaiming more of the neighboring, North Dakota towns with each passing year.
On the verge of breaking his sobriety, Roy hill, sheriff of Ramsey County, North Dakota, is racked with guilt. After the death of his wife, his daughter, Georgia leaves home, leaving only a note behind.
Facing these hardship proves more difficult when a young woman's frozen body is found at the edge of town that bears a striking resemblance to the sheriff's estranged daughter.
As the case deepens and begins to towards Roy's complicated past, a father and a daughter search for forgiveness, neither knowing if it's to late.

Equal parts mystery and character study NOTHING LIVES HERE is "Vivid and heartbreaking."
