BURY THIS

A haunting story about a young woman found dead in the snow. The crime, based on a real cold case from 1979, was never solved, and the town struggled under the weight of its grief.

Jump ahead 25 years where a group of film students create a documentary on the famously unsolved case. What they learn renews interest in the case, and the novel travels back and forth between 1979 and now, examining the darker corners of small town America. It's a bit of Twin Peaks mixed with The Killing in a heightened and stunning poetic style.

Andrea Portes is the author of Hick, an LA Times Bestseller (May 2007, Unbridled Books,) an IndieNext pick, and the basis for the 2011 film starring Chloe Grace Mortez, Juliette Lewis, Alec Baldwin, and Blake Lively.
