"Idaho" by Emily
Ruskovich
With an act of unspeakable violence at its heart, “Idaho” is a story of
redemption, horror, love, and disjointed memory. Set in the rugged Northern
Idaho landscape, events are recounted from multiple perspectives in razor-sharp
prose and shrouded in terrible secrecy.
"Black River" by
S.M. Hulse
When Wes Carver returns from Spokane, Washington to Black River,
Montana he carries two things in the cab of his truck: his wife’s ashes and a
letter from the prison parole board. The convict, who held him hostage during a
prison riot twenty years prior, is being considered for release. With stunning
detail and raw emotion, S.M. Hulse drops readers deep into the heart and
darkness of a northwestern American town.
