The Hungry Earth

The unputdownable new Clay Edison thriller from the New York Times bestselling, acclaimed father-son duo who write 'brilliant, page-turning fiction' (Stephen King).

__________


A decades old death. A modernday murder. And a buried secret that refuses to stay buried...

Regina Klein doesn't ask for many favours. But when her aunt, a brilliant winemaker, dies suddenly, she can't help but question whether it actually was natural causes that killed her – or something more sinister.

She calls in Private Investigator Clay Edison to crack open the case. What started as a routine inquiry turns into a mystery that stretches back to the 1970s – into the origins of a Napa Valley winery built on idealism, ambition, and something far darker.

Together, Regina and Clay must confront a case where memory is unreliable, motives are buried, and the truth may implicate the very people who want it uncovered.
