If someone ever tells you that small towns are boring and nothing ever happens in them, walk away\u2014they have no idea what they’re talking about. New York Times bestselling author Nick Russell spent much of his working life publishing small-town newspapers on the Pacific Northwest coast and in Arizona, and he has seen everything from scandal to murder and everything in between. This collection gathers four first chapters from four of his different mystery series, each set in a different small-town America, each delivering a complete, satisfying standalone story. One reviewer called the Big Lake series “Mayberry meets Twin Peaks,” and that combination of warmth and dark intrigue runs through all of Russell’s small-town work. 🔍<\/p>\n

The four stories here cover a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who came to a sad and sordid end; a small-town lawman whose personal life is devastated when violent crime hits too close to home; a deputy in rural Florida who finds himself pulled into a case that stretches back decades; and an everyday man who went shopping on Black Friday and had his entire life turned upside down. Four tones, four settings, four varieties of the same essential truth: the quieter the town, the deeper the secrets. 💙<\/p>\n

Russell’s Big Lake series launched its first book into Amazon’s Top 100 Paid Kindle books for over 78 consecutive days. He’s published over 40 books across multiple series, all of them built from his years on the ground in small-town America. This is an ideal sampler for new readers trying to find their entry point into his world. ⭐<\/p>\n
