In 1958, a small Minnesota town is rocked by the murder of its most
powerful citizen, pouring fresh fuel on old grievances in this
dazzling standalone novel from the New York Times bestselling
author of the “expansive, atmospheric American saga”
(Entertainment Weekly) This Tender Land. On Memorial Day, as the
people of Jewel, Minnesota gather to remember and honor the
sacrifice of so many sons in the wars of the past, the half-clothed
body of wealthy landowner Jimmy Quinn is found floating in the
Alabaster River, dead from a shotgun blast. Investigation of the
murder falls to Sheriff Brody Dern, a highly decorated war hero who
still carries the physical and emotional scars from his military
service. Even before Dern has the results of the autopsy, vicious
rumors begin to circulate that the killer must be Noah Bluestone, a
Native American WWII veteran who has recently returned to Jewel
with a Japanese wife. As suspicions and accusations mount and the
town teeters on the edge of more violence, Dern struggles not only
to find the truth of Quinn’s murder but also put to rest the
demons from his own past. Caught up in the torrent of anger that
sweeps through Jewel are a war widow and her adolescent son, the
intrepid publisher of the local newspaper, an aging deputy, and a
crusading female lawyer, all of whom struggle with their own tragic
histories and harbor secrets that Quinn’s death threatens to
expose. Both a complex, spellbinding mystery and a masterful
portrait of midcentury American life from an author of novels “as
big-hearted as they come” (Parade), The River We Remember is an
unflinching look at the wounds left by the wars we fight abroad and
at home, a moving exploration of the ways in which we seek to heal,
and a testament to the enduring power of the stories we tell about
the places we call home.
