Everyone Knows But You: A Tale of Murder on the Maine Coast--A Literary Cocktail Hour
with Thomas E. Ricks
Join fellow mystery book fans on Friday, June 21 at 5:30 pm, for the Brattleboro Literary Festival Literary Cocktail Hour, online and free, featuring New York Times bestselling author Thomas E. Ricks, author of new book.
In this riveting crime debut, Ricks turns his literary talents to land he knows deeply, from working in the Maine woods and trapping lobsters year-round. An FBI agent finds himself in the insular world of a fishing village on the Maine coast where the rules are different—sometimes lethally so. After his wife and two children are killed in a car crash, Ryan Tapia starts a new life in Maine. But his first case there is a puzzling oddball—the corpse of a fisherman washes up on federal land, while the man's boat drifts into waters that are part of an Indian reservation.
Maine. Publisher's Weekly said "A crackling procedural about a grieving FBI agent who sets out to solve a murder in Maine."
