The Long Game
When Harry Weiner’s wife passes away at forty years old, he is wracked with guilt about the things she’d always hoped for but he’d never prioritized, while also finding himself completely unprepared to live his life without her as his guide.
When he finally shows up for work, he’s handed a severance check. As failure weighs him down, Harry grudgingly retraces the steps through northern Maine where he and his wife used to travel, and soon stumbles upon a small convenience store at a tiny crossroads called Grantham. The employees tell him he’s the new owner. What they can’t explain, and what he can’t understand, is how or why.
Harry learns about the town where his wife was born–a place she had never told him about–and discovers that Grantham has more than its share of secrets. But Grantham also holds the untold story of his wife, and the town’s twisted history is like a book Harry can’t put down. As he continues to burrow into Grantham’s past, he discovers there are people who don’t want the town’s past exposed. And they will do whatever it takes to keep the past, as well as their ongoing misdeeds, hidden.
When a mysterious woman resurfaces from his past, Harry uncovers the true intent behind those who run Grantham. If he can’t find a way to stop them the town will disappear. And with Grantham’s passing he will lose the remaining threads of his wife’s life forever.
