The Fields

A breakneck procedural that is beautifully written and masterfully crafted, Erin Young''s The Fields is a dynamite debutΓÇöcrime fiction at its very finest.

When Sergeant Riley Fisher, newly promoted to head of investigations for the Black Hawk County SheriffΓÇÖs Office, arrives on the scene, an already horrific crime becomes personal when she discovers the victim was a childhood friend, connected to a dark past she thought sheΓÇÖd left behind.
The investigation grows complicated as more victims are found. Drawn deeper in, Riley soon discovers implications far beyond her Midwest town.
