The river at night
(Large Print)

This high stakes drama is set against the harsh beauty of the Maine wilderness charting the journey of four friends as they fight to survive the aftermath of a white water rafting accident. With intimately observed characters, visceral prose, and pacing as ruthless as the river itself, The River at Night is a nonstop and unforgettable thriller by a stunning new voice in fiction.

Stifled by a soul-crushing job, devastated by the death of her brother, and lonely after the end of her marriage, Wini is feeling vulnerable. When her three best friends select a getaway for their annual girls' trip, she signs on. They start on an invigorating hiking and rafting excursion in the remote Allagash Wilderness, but a freak accident leaves the women stranded, separating them from their raft and everything they need to survive. A fire on the mountainside lures them to a ramshackle camp that appears to be their lifeline. As Wini and her friends grasp the true intent of their supposed saviors, long buried secrets emerge and lifelong allegiances are put to the test.
