Description
In 1958, a shocking murder rocks the small Minnesota town of Jewel, Minnesota, on Memorial Day. The body of wealthy landowner Jimmy Quinn is found floating in the Alabaster River, dead from a shotgun blast. The investigation falls to Sheriff Brody Dern, a highly decorated war hero struggling to come to terms with his past. As the town teeters on the edge of violence, Dern must navigate a complex web of secrets and accusations, including those surrounding a Native American WWII veteran who has recently returned to Jewel with a Japanese wife. The case becomes a catalyst for the town to confront its own tragic histories and the wounds left by the wars fought abroad and at home. A spellbinding mystery and a masterful portrait of mid-century American life, The River We Remember offers an unflinching look at the ways in which we seek to heal and the enduring power of the stories we tell about the places we call home.
