Murder in the Heartland
Weaving harrowing narratives of quiet Middle American towns torn apart by provocative murders. Each town's tale is given life by the combined perspectives of its residents, who are more than just storytellers. They are also key witnesses to each of the crimes, and they hold critical clues to puzzles that not only have forever changed their lives but how they have come to view their once-idyllic hometowns.
