BERSERKER

Wabasha, Minnesota. 1851.
Pinkerton investigator Thomas Wilson arrives on the frontier to find a town holding its breath. Four women are dead, each one left at the river's edge, marked with symbols no one in Wabasha can name; ancient, deliberate, Norse. The prime suspect is a creature of rumor: a white man gone feral, known only as Wolf Bane, who moves through the timber above town like something the wilderness made for itself.
Thomas has solved harder cases. He tells himself this.
But something about this investigation is different. The symbols pull at something beneath memory. The river feels familiar in ways he cannot explain. And the deeper he follows the evidence, the more certain he becomes that whatever is hunting this territory has been here far longer than the murders; and that it knows things about Thomas Wilson that Thomas Wilson does not know about himself.
A slow-burn frontier mystery about identity, grief, and the violence of forgetting.
