Dakota

There is “suspense on every page”(Cleveland Plain Dealer) in this follow-up to Biting the Moon now available in paperback.

In Martha Grimes’s acclaimed novel Biting the Moon, amnesiac drifter Andi Oliver sought the one man who held the key to her past. Now, Andi continues from one small town to the next, surviving the dangerous expanse of the Western plains, until she finds her mission and menace in Dakota. Taking a job at Klavan’s pig farming facility, Andi learns the gruesome truth of modern livestock management. As she begins to uncover the even darker secrets about Klavan’s sister facility, Big Sun, a stranger from her past comes to the surface demanding information of which Andi has no memory.
