We Bring You an Hour of Darkness

"We Bring You an Hour of Darkness is my favorite kind of thriller - one that combines urgent social themes with smart dialogue and a page-turning mystery." --Lauren Nossett, author of The Resemblance and The Professor It's 1993, and the ski company in Franklin, Colorado, plans to build a massive new resort in a pristine wilderness home to an endangered wildcat. When eco-terrorists begin a series of attacks on infrastructure and property, the FBI sets up a national task force. While the local police and politicians are melting down, five intrepid reporters at the town's struggling, woman-owned newspaper must step in to solve the crime. With her newspaper on the brink of collapse, editor Tish Threadgill, still mourning the death of her brother and business partner, is under pressure from a rival publication to sell. But a local literary malcontent turns out to have a ringside seat to the eco-terrorist plot. While trying to stave off the town's power brokers who would very much like her pesky paper gone, Tish soon finds the mystery at the heart of the attacks is far too close to home.
