I've been a fan of Ms Vaughn since the Kitty Norville series, and this is my first book of hers outside of that series. I LOVE IT!! This will be an amazing handsell for my customers!

In her sequel to Bannerless, Vaughn returns to the people of Coast Road, 100 years after the collapse of civilization. People have banded together to create a makeshift society where members must adhere to strict rules regarding consumption of food and supplies and whether or not they will have children. In this rag-tag society, Enid of Haven and her new partner Teeg try to uphold the law and protect citizens from themselves. When they discover the body of a woman, they are stunned to realize she does not belong to their community, but rather to one of the other nomadic camps that wander the area. Is it possible to solve a murder in a post apocalyptic world, one that has no real rules and no real way of enforcing them? What a unique idea – to place a murder mystery in the middle of a Dystopian world – and it works. Vaughn is an exciting author to watch
