As Skookum Summer begins, the year is 1981, and reporter Tom Dawson
slinks back to his tiny Puget Sound hometown after making a
disastrous mistake at the LA Times. Working reluctantly at the
local weekly, the Big Skookum Echo, Tom is drawn into investigating
a powerful logger's murder. As the mystery deepens, the murder
exposes the strains on the community as pollution, development, and
global change threaten traditional Northwest livelihoods. It also
forces Tom to confront his own past and discover what home really
means to him. Hart weaves together a gripping and suspenseful plot
with richly observed Pacific Northwest history and a vivid picture
of a community on the brink of change.
