Frank Yakabuski Mystery Back Channel

"Corbett's work has garnered him an Edgar(c) Award nomination, and we can see why." - New York Times Book Review When seventeen-year-old Meaghan McKenna's mother drowns in the Springfield River, police call it an accident. Meaghan knows better. So does Detective Frank Yakabuski. The suspicious death pulls Yakabuski and his partner, Donna Griffin, into something far more dangerous than a tragic drowning. It's murder. And the killer has been hiding in plain sight for decades. Their investigation soon reveals a dark corner of the Northern Divide - a place where colonial-era land disputes, family blood feuds, and decades-old murders still haunt people, and powerful men hold secrets they will kill to keep. With pressure mounting and the past closing in, Yakabuski must uncover the truth before history claims more victims. BACK CHANNEL is the gripping fifth installment in the Frank Yakabuski Mystery Series by Edgar(R)-nominated and Arthur Ellis Award-nominated Ron Corbett-a dark northern noir thriller where past and present collide in a deadly mystery.
