About this Event

Join Us for a Good Read and Conversation!

Basin 63 by Scott McIntosh is a gripping crime thriller set in the arid Idaho desert where water is power—and M**der can be profitable. When newspaper editor Philip Chandler investigates a brutal double homicide, his search for the truth leads him to Basin 63, an underground aquifer at the heart of a high-stakes water conflict that pits rural communities against powerful interests willing to K*ll to keep their secrets safe.

On March 8th, meet author Scott McIntosh and local readers at the Jim Halls Foothills Nature Center for an engaging conversation about Basin 63, the mysteries beneath the desert floor, and the ways that small-town journalism can intersect with explosive regional issues. In addition to McIntosh, local water experts will provide context for how real conversations on groundwater and water rights are impacting our community.
