Everybody thrives in the small, isolated community of Prosperous, Maine. Its habitants are blessed with good fortune, financial security and - crucially - privacy.

So when private detective Charlie Parker arrives in Prosperous, asking about the death of a former client, its citizens close ranks.
Parker isn't afraid of a fight, but when it comes to Prosperous and what dwells beneath it, maybe he should be . . .
