Amagansett | Mark Mills

1 post | 2 read | 1 to read

In the small town of Amagansett, perched on Long Island's windswept coast, generations have followed the same calling as their forefathers, fishing the dangerous Atlantic waters. Little has changed in the three centuries since white settlers drove the Montaukett Indians from the land. But for Conrad Labarde, a second-generation Basque immigrant recently returned from the Second World War, and his fellow fisherman Rollo Kemp, this stability is shattered when a beautiful New York socialite turns up dead in their nets. On the face of it, her death was accidental, but deputy police chief Tom Hollis - an incomer from New York - is convinced the truth lies in the intricate histories and family secrets of Amagansett's inhabitants. Meanwhile the enigmatic Labarde is pursuing his own investigation.

Amagansett | Mark Mills

pick

Mark Mills is the genuine article - a real story teller who rolls out a narrative in the way a fisherman pays out his reel, a handy analogy since the novel takes place on the South Fork of Long Island, its history steeped in whaling & fishing. Amagansett these days is part of a necklace of towns inhabited in the summer months by the rich & famous. In 1947, when the action begins, the r&f were just arriving. A very satisfying page turner mystery.
