Ktci-awa

By Nikko Lee

On the remote island of Monhegan, off the coast of Maine, everyone has more than one job. Game warden Diane Pinchino is the only semblance of law enforcement. As a winter storm batters the island, Diane begins to investigate the grisly discovery of a dismembered body.

The body count increases with no clear motive or suspect. Without reinforcements, can Diane solve the case before someone she loves becomes the next victim?
