About this audiobook
Fosser has survived war, prison, and the kind of violence most men never see coming. Now he lives alone at the edge of Carrick County Prison, working as caretaker of the pauper’s field — the burial ground for the unwanted, the unnamed, and the inconveniently dead. But the field is not just a cemetery. It is a dumping ground for secrets.
The Pauper’s Field is a dark, atmospheric New England crime thriller for readers who like gritty suspense, corrupt institutions, organized crime, vigilante justice, and hard men with dangerous pasts.
