Strong Conviction

By Trevor Scott

Book Overview

Trent Strong is back home in his northern Minnesota lake community after spending ten years working on a Chicago daily newspaper as an investigative journalist covering heinous crimes and traveling to war-torn countries. Sick of all the deaths, and content with returning to a slower pace, Trent buys the local weekly newspaper. But Trent is in town for only one week when an old friend asks him to investigate the Mammoth Paper Mill, which he suspects is polluting a small trout stream. Since the mill employs over half the town, the friend hasn't made many friends with his claim. The next day, a woman is found stabbed to death in town. Trent is compelled to investigate her death, as well as the paper mill. As Trent investigates, he runs across many people from his past. Some are potential suspects, and others make him question if his move back home was the right one. He starts a relationship with the motel manager, but even wonders if she is somehow involved with the murder. Trent must investigate around a small town sheriff and county attorney running for re-election, out-of-state thugs who want to shut him up, and an entire town that would like the whole thing to go away. What he finds will change his life forever . . .

A Great Small Town Mystery

I've read everything Trevor Scott has written, and this book is right up there with Fatal Network and Hypershot. The difference? This book is not a traditional thriller, but a small town mystery. Scott makes Bear Lake, Minnesota one of the characters in this book. You actually feel like you're on the lake and in this small northern Minnesota town. His actual characters are full and flawed and good, bad and ugly. This guy can write! When I tell my friends about Trevor Scott, they all say "Who?" Well, everyone is about to find out soon enough. You heard it here first. Bravo!
