Police captain Delia Mariola is struggling to drive predatory drug dealers from the American rust belt town of Baxter, before the owners of the new Nissan plant lose faith in the project.  It doesn’t help that the influx of male workers for the plant has also meant an influx of criminals. In the workers’ settlement just outside the city limits, a modern Wild West boomtown is now thriving, drawing criminal gangs who promise drugs and female company to men far from home looking for comfort and distraction.  With no active policing in the unregulated settlement, the criminals are fighting it out to take control of the drug trade. It’s against this chaotic backdrop that a young sex worker’s body turns up on the streets of Baxter itself.  Delia investigates the murder relentlessly, determined to bring justice to the criminal enterprises plaguing her streets. But she’s not the only one hunting the killer, and when strangers turn up seeking their own form of justice for the murdered girl, Delia risks facing off against a vigilante movement that could put her job on the line.  The breathtaking new thriller from US author A.F. Carter, Boomtown is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed The Hostage.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49748969095441,"sku":"NGR9781035904471","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50726986285329,"sku":"GOR014050694","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1035904470.jpg?v=1757071659"},{"product_id":"hostage-book-af-carter-9781804548844","title":"The Hostage","description":"In this new thriller from the author of critically acclaimed The Yards, a cop tracks the kidnapped teenage daughter of a wealthy developer in a American Rust Belt town.  A new Nissan plant is coming to the depressed Rust Belt town of Baxter, and Captain Delia Mariola has been busy cleaning up the crime-addled city ever since the deal was announced. But when Elizabeth, the fifteen-year-old daughter of the lead bidder on the construction project, suddenly disappears, and it becomes clear that a professional kidnapping ring may be responsible, Delia realizes that the factory's influx of cash could bring with it an entirely new sort of danger.  Though Elizabeth's abduction was well-planned and bore the mark of an experienced team, her captors could not have anticipated the quick and clever brilliance of the exceptionally smart teen. From the trunk of the car where she is held, Elizabeth devised a clever trick to get cryptic messages to those who love her. The only problem is that the messages might be too cryptic even for their recipients to decipher.  If Delia has any hope of bringing the girl home unharmed, she'll have to crack the code and discover the meaning behind each message. And unless she does it fast, there may be nobody left to save...  Tough, thrilling, and filled with memorable characters, The Hostage is a gritty mystery set in the same hardscrabble town as The Yards.  Reviewers on A.F. Carter:  'A breathless suspenser that's also a painfully acute evocation of the wrong side of the tracks.' Kirkus, on The Yards   'Another impressive effort from Carter.' Publishers Weekly, on The Yards   'A riveting, must read tale of suspense, murder and retribution.'
