Hank Peterson was found, shotgun in hand, in the bedroom where the shattered body of his wife and her latest paramour lie. Violence was no stranger in the northern mining town called Red Rock. But Hank was such an easy-going guy, was he really capable of such brutality?There's more to the picture than meets the eye, and award-winning novelist Wayne Tefs uses the recollections of half-a-dozen characters involved in the drama to skillfully weave a composite image of the people caught up in this tragedy and a psychological profile of a community under stress.
Gritty as car wheels on a gravel road, Red Rock is as real and rooted in the Shield country as iron ore, rye and Coke, and Stompin' Tom Connors. It's not just a fine murder mystery, it's a hometown blues from the dark end of the street we like to pretend we haven't visited. From start to finish, Red Rock is engossing, and finally heartbreaking.
