Synopsis

Set in the 1980s, the Jennifer Pierce mystery series features a prototypical small town in Maine going through the transition from a self-reliant semi-rural mill town to distant suburb of the information age.

When a new computer BBS pops up in town around the same time, there are complications that reach far beyond Maine, and as close as her own front door.

When people have secrets to protect, you......more
