Short description

Quirky private detective "Hawk" Hawking is hired to find a girl who may become a killer's next victim--a troubled fifteen-year-old paraplegic named Samantha Salinger. But Hawk's most devastating discovery is that the killer threatens not only both of their lives, but the nature of existence itself.

Extended description

Funny, suspenseful, and poignant, Edentown is the debut novel by prize-winning playwright Daniel Edmiston. Part coming-of-age recovery story, part comedic mystery, the story follows fifteen-year-old Samantha Salinger, who uncovers a secret that will alter her life forever. Confronting paraplegia and finding solace in the Internet, she will never trust another human being again. One year later, quirky private detective “Hawk” Hawking is hired to find a girl who may become a killer’s next victim. The girl’s name—Samantha Salinger. But Hawk’s most devastating discovery is that the killer threatens not only his and Samantha’s lives, but the nature of existence itself. With shades of Janet Evanovich and Catcher in the Rye, Edentown is a novel that is as original as it is unforgettable.
