Dark in mood and rich in character, “Over Tumbled Graves” by #1 New York Times bestselling author Jess Walter is that rare thriller that manages to be at once viscerally gripping and deeply provocative.
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.
