“Ron Corbett’s excellent Frank Yakabuski series is a return to the bad old days when men killed for a glass of beer.” — Globe and Mail

“Corbett lays a strong foundation for what promises to be a truly captivating series.” — Publishers Weekly Starred Review

A brutal murder. Four silent suspects. A past that refuses to stay buried.
It was the case that started it all when a young cop named Frank Yakabuski is sent to Muskie Falls, a remote mill town high on the Northern Divide. A man no one mourns has been beaten to death behind a run-down hotel.

Four suspects.
All of them were there that night.
But no one is talking.

As the investigation stalls, Yakabuski finds himself pulled deeper into a mystery that refuses to break. But someone else is watching from the shadows—a killer with a vendetta, the one who set everything in motion… and the one determined to end it. Until the silence finally cracks and the truth is revealed that changes everything Yak thought he knew. Because in the Northern Divide, some secrets are worth keeping and other secrets are worth killing for.

MUSKIE FALLS is the page-turning fourth installment in the Frank Yakabuski Mystery Series by Edgar®-nominated and Arthur Ellis Award nominated Ron Corbett, a dark northern noir thriller, where past and present collide in a gripping mystery.
