Murder In The City That Trees Built Malcolm West

Berlin, New Hampshire, is almost a city! By then end of the century, the motley crew of locals and immigrants will have elected their first mayor. For now, the growing pulp and paper town will be preparing for another long, hard, and cold winter. In the Fall of 1891, a body is found in the Dead River. The murder investigation reveals a deeper problem taking root in the White Mountains, a counterfeit operation from Montreal to Boston. A dead prostitute is common in a big city, but are the small town Berlin police equipped to handle this case? Constable Noyes and his men have a few leads, and even a few theories. But the killer doesn't stand a chance against the Constable's friend, Roland Goulette. Roland is a local woodsman and fur-trader that visits Berlin every so often. With his help, maybe the Berlin police can solve this murder, and stop the counterfeit operation. So grab a paddle, jump in your canoe, and journey down the Androscoggin River to the City that Trees Built.
