HARD AS A HEADSTONE Book Launch with Richard Cass

Join us to celebrate the launch of Richard Cass's Ardmore Theberge mystery series with Islandport Press! We are reissuing the first Ardmore novel, THE LAST ALTRUIST, alongside the "binge-worthy" (Gerry Boyle) stand-alone sequel, HARD AS A HEADSTONE.

The dead don’t lie. The living do.

Former Army CID investigator Ardmore Theberge just wanted to complete his assignment: a routine land survey. But when he discovers a young woman murdered in a historic Maine graveyard—her skull crushed by blunt-force trauma—routine goes out the window.

The victim, Janey Nightingale, was part of an activist group fighting to stop a bottled water company from relocating the cemetery. The authorities seem in no hurry to solve the case. But when Ardmore's friend Millicent Feathernight implores him to look into what appears to be a crime against a fellow Native American woman, he can’t say no.
