Publisher's Summary

A breakneck procedural that is beautifully written and masterfully crafted, Erin Young's The Fields is a dynamite debut - crime fiction at its very finest.

Some things don't stay buried.

It starts with a body, a young woman found dead - torn to bits - in an Iowa cornfield on one of the few family farms still managing to compete with the giants of Big Agriculture.

When Sergeant Riley Fisher, newly promoted to head of investigations for the Black Hawk County Sheriff’s Office, arrives on the scene, an already horrific crime becomes personal when she discovers the victim was a childhood friend, connected to a dark past she thought she’d left behind.

The investigation grows complicated as more victims are found. Drawn deeper in, Riley soon discovers implications far beyond her Midwest town.

Some things don't stay buried.

What the critics say

"The Fields is my favorite sort of novel: the sharp prose and explosive plot immediately drew me in, but the richly textured exploration of life in rural America stayed with me long after I finished. I hope to see more of Sergeant Riley Fisher, the novel's dynamic female protagonist. This is a classic crime series in the making." (Cristina Alger, New York Times best-selling author of Girls Like Us)

Just terrible

Interesting start, but completely implausible entanglement of serial killer(s), big agriculture, and politics. Not a chance that I would bother with its sequel.
