Paperback. Two years after the reservoir gave up its dead, Callan thought he'd left this work behind. Then a letter arrives from Sheriff Corinne Task of Aldwich County - a place he's never worked, written by a woman he's never met, asking for help with something she "isn't yet able to describe in writing." Three men have died in eighteen months. A fall. A crash. A hunting accident that shouldn't have been possible. All three had filed complaints against the county board in the months before they died. Task doesn't believe in coincidence. Neither does Callan. With medical examiner Dr. Priya Kade at his side, Callan starts pulling a thread that runs straight through the county's land records, its board chairman's careful reputation, and a construction corridor that doesn't stop at any county line. What they find isn't a single corrupt official - it's a method: patient, deniable, and already being taught to the next county in line. As the case widens to pull in an FBI agent chasing a civil rights complaint on the other side of that line, a fifteen-year-old boy who saw more than he should have, and a woman running a records office who's spent thirty years learning exactly how much silence a paycheck is worth, Callan has to reckon with the thing he came to Aldwich already carrying: the difference between the man his own father built a county-sized machine to protect, and the man Callan has spent two years trying to become instead. What the Ground Keeps is a slow-burn small-town thriller about the patient machinery of institutional corruption - and about what it costs, and what it's worth, to keep showing up early instead of arriving two years too late. A sequel to The Quiet County, and a standalone case in its own right. For readers who want their small-town mysteries with real teeth: patient investigators, imperfect justice, and a corridor of buried complicity that runs deeper than any one county board. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).

Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
