A Promised Land
by Barack Obama
Our September featured thriller!
Dark August is an electrifying, page-turning debut about a young woman haunted by her tragic past, who returns to her hometown and discovers that there might be more to her police detective mother’s death—and last case—than she ever could have imagined.
Set right here in Eastern Ontario, Dark August unfolds in Elgin Ontario, and features the Rideau Lakes, Gananoque and Brockville! Dark August introduces a bold new voice and will leave readers guessing until the final startling conclusion.
