Stolen Mountain
Nothing is as wicked (or mean) as a massive small town malfeasance
We are so proud to announce IM Aiken's second novel, Stolen Mountain, a classic legal thriller with the fresh style, heart-wrenching twists, and sheer humanity that Aiken is becoming famous for, for your review. It is also available as an audio, read by the author, so please let us know if you'd like the audio version.
EMS Captain turned sleuth Brighid Doran trains her forensic eye on The Branston Club—a swanky ski lodge being built in her rural Vermont town.
While dodging danger and digging up dirt, Brighid and team draw the ire of small town politicians, crooked cops, and an ever-deepening chasm of deceptions, all the while struggling to cope with the constant deployment of her wife Major Sarah (Sam) Ann Musgrave.
With help from attorney Morgan Chadwick and a hovering FBI, Brighid must determine the truth of a scheme with the potential of defrauding her friends and neighbors of millions... but at what cost to her own relationships and where she calls home?
