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. Publisher's Weekly said of the book "A crackling procedural about a grieving FBI agent who sets out to solve a murder in Maine. The sturdy whodunit plot is enriched by the author's firm grasp of his setting and a colorful cast of New Englanders who never veer into caricature. A sequel would be welcome."
Thomas E. Ricks is an adviser on national security at the New America Foundation, where he participates in its "Future of War" project. Ricks covered the US military for The Washington Post from 2000 through 2008. Until the end of 1999 he had the same beat at The Wall Street Journal, where he was a reporter for seventeen years. As a reporter at the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal, he was a member of two teams that won the Pulitzer Prize. He is the author of several books, including The Generals, The Gamble, and the number one New York Times bestseller Fiasco, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His new book is Everyone Knows But You: A Tale of Murder on the Maine Coast. He worked in the Maine woods in his youth and trapped lobsters when living on an island in Penobscot Bay. He now divides his time between Texas and Maine.
