No Bodies

By Karin Vausse

In Chesterville, a small county in the Midwest, the fresh corpse of a college student wastes away at the local mortuary. The Sheriff's Department and local council seemingly flip the town on its head to cover up the murder. Having arrested the lead witness, Deputy Michael Carmichael finds himself under the gun of the most beloved figure in town, Councilwoman Marei Towers, whose influence seems to be at the heart of both Chesterville's incredible economic prosperity and the corruption of his beloved precinct.

At the center of their web of chaos is the enigmatic pariah, Joe Nobody, who keeps unraveling the threads of Marei's power wherever he lands. At the mounting pressure of hiding the murder of the daughter of an influential family, destroying damaging evidence, and the looming election and all that means to Marei's mysterious backers, Chesterville will unknowingly prove the battleground for a silent war between a rogue cop, a dangerous civil servant, and the man who chaos follows: Mr Nobody.
