Description
In a world where resources are scarce, a century after environmental collapse, the people of the Coast Road have built a new society. Investigator Enid of Haven is tasked with mediating a dispute, but her decision is soon complicated by a murder in the nearby marshland. The victim is not from the Coast Road, but from one of the nomadic communities living outside their territory. As Enid seeks to uncover the truth, she must navigate the moral complexities of a society struggling to survive. A tightly plotted mystery unfolds, set against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic world where the boundaries between communities are increasingly fragile. With the help of her partner Teeg, Enid must confront the darker aspects of human nature and the consequences of a society that values survival above all else. In this gripping dystopian mystery, Carrie Vaughn explores the human condition in the face of adversity, raising questions about the nature of morality and the true cost of survival.
