Fool's Landing - by Matt Goldman (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author and Emmy Award-winner Matt Goldman, danger runs rampant in the idyllic town of Riverwood.

Riverwood Police Chief Zoey Jensen has her hands full. A murdered fishing guide, the theft of a gold brick from a home safe, Zoey's menacing ex-husband who's followed her to southeast Minnesota, and her current boyfriend who keeps canceling dates. Add a spate of home break-ins, and Zoey feels pushed to her limit. Her biggest hope is that all this chaos is somehow related, and if she can solve one crime, it'll open the door to solve the others. But it's not easy as she struggles to overcome the mounting challenges in her personal life.

Review Quotes

Praise for Liar's Creek

"Liar's Creek has superb characters, a really engaging plot, and a great setting... this book is a mystery but also a novel about rediscovery and redemption. I read it in one weekend blitz. You will, too." --The Globe and Mail

"Engrossing...Liar's Creek flows forcefully as an emotional tale about fathers and sons." --Oline Cogdill, Shelf Awareness

"Liar's Creek strikes us emotionally in ways that mystery novels rarely aim for or achieve. Goldman has done a magnificent job of presenting a series of knotty plot threads and then cleverly untying those knots...altogether a brilliantly conceived and effectively executed novel of love and suspense. I highly recommend it." --Bookreporter.com

"Goldman has an unerring ear for snappy dialogue and a poet's eye for the beauty of nature." --William Kent Krueger
