Over Tumbled Graves: A Novel (P.S.)

During a routine drug bust, on a narrow bridge over white-water falls in the center of town, Spokane detective Caroline Mabry finds herself face-to-face with a brutal murderer. Within hours, the body of a young prostitute is found on the riverbank nearby. What follows confronts our fascination with pathology and murder and stares it down, as Caroline and her cynical partner, Alan Dupree--thrown headlong into the search for a serial murderer who communicates by killing women--uncover some hard truths about their profession . . . and each other. Rich with the darkly muted colors of the Pacific Northwest skies, "Over Tumbled Graves" established Jess Walter as a novelist of extraordinary emotional depth and dimension.
