Description
In postwar Jewel, Minnesota, the body of wealthy landowner Jimmy Quinn is discovered in the Alabaster River, thrusting the close-knit community into a murder investigation shadowed by rumor, prejudice, and long-buried secrets. Sheriff Brody Dern—a decorated war hero still carrying the scars of battle—must seek the truth while confronting his own troubled past and the divided loyalties of those he loves. As the investigation unfolds through the perspectives of townspeople marked by grief, abuse, desire, and resilience, the river becomes a symbol of memory and the many conflicting stories communities tell about themselves. Lyrical and deeply compassionate, this atmospheric mystery explores hatred, forgiveness, moral courage, and the difficult transformation of pain into understanding.
