Driven by loss, rage, and their gut instincts for justice, they channel their grief and confusion into uncovering the criminal truth about their small town of Perron, a prairie community that has been long deserted by industry, leaving a ghostly emptiness of abandoned gravel pits, golf courses, and storefronts. They soon discover that Perron -- with its population of bored and discontented youth, as well as police officers who are only looking out for themselves -- is the ideal place for a mysterious and omnipresent drug trade to flourish. Soon enough, Dallan and Hannah are being tailed by Deputy Arnason, who has been tasked with protecting the reputation of the local police, even as his conscience screams in protest with every move he makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEqual parts crime novel and literary fiction, \u003ci\u003eSunsetter \u003c\/i\u003eis an unflinching story about the opioid crisis, teen isolation, police brutality, and the fickleness of late-stage capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eCurtis LeBlanc\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of two poetry collections, \u003ci\u003eLittle Wild\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBirding in the Glass Age of Isolation\u003c\/i\u003e.
