Greedy developers and underhanded businessmen are pitted against a shadowy band of environmental activists willing to stop at nothing to save pristine mountain wilderness. With the local police force melting down and the FBI stymied by the town's power brokers, Editor Tish Threadgill and her intrepid reporters at a struggling small-town newspaper are the only hope to stop the attacks, expose injustices, and crack the case.
Inspired in part by a real-life 1998 arson at the Vail Ski Resort and with echoes of more recent events, We Bring You an Hour of Darkness probes the morality of activism that aims to save the planet but risks human lives. A gripping story of a town under siege and a newspaper editor who pushes her reporters to the grey areas of the law in order to solve the riddle of the attacks, Bourne's second novel features a witch's brew of charismatic, independently- minded characters, some radicals, and the small town dysfunction that often defines local politics.
Author Bio
Michael Bourne draws on his decades-long experience as a reporter in Rocky Mountain ski towns that are famous world-wide but only known at their core by a select few. Bourne has been a contributor to The New York Times, The Economist, Tin House, and Literary Hub, among other publications and has had his stories published widely in literary magazines. His debut novel, Blithedale Canyon received rave reviews in Publishers Weekly, Zyzzyva, and Rain Taxi, which called it, “A clever blend of literary fiction with elements of crime and noir ... [whose] cinematic quality comes from characters that demand a performance.” He lives in Vancouver with his wife and son.
