Description
In the Catskills, a small-time criminal’s body is found in the Ashokan Reservoir, and the case quickly sinks into the kind of noir underworld where every favor has a price. When a high-ranking mob boss calls in a marker, Isaiah Coleridge—retired Maori hitman and reluctant investigator—returns to the shadows to probe whether the recent murders of two local gangsters are connected to something darker rising from the region’s black mountain of secrets. As he follows crooked leads through backroom deals, old grudges, and shifting loyalties, Coleridge must navigate violence, moral compromise, and the thin line between justice and survival. Laird Barron’s signature style—lean, atmospheric, and sharply psychological—turns a crime-driven mystery into a tense exploration of fate, brutality, and the cost of being pulled back in.
