Description
Journalist Joe Talbert investigates the murder of the father he never knew, and must reckon with his own family's past, in this "brilliant sequel" to the national bestseller The Life We Bury (Publishers Weekly)
Joe Talbert, Jr. has never once met his namesake. Now out of college, a cub reporter for the Associated Press in Minneapolis, he stumbles across a story describing the murder of a man named Joseph Talbert in a small town in southern Minnesota.
Full of curiosity about whether this man might be his father, Joe is shocked to find that none of the town's residents have much to say about the dead man-other than that his death was long overdue. Joe discovers that the dead man was a loathsome lowlife who cheated his neighbors, threatened his daughter, and squandered his wife's inheritance after she, too, passed away — an inheritance that may now be Joe's.
Mired in uncertainty and plagued by his own devastated relationship with his mother, who is seeking to get back into her son's life, Joe must put together the missing pieces of his family history — before his quest for discovery threatens to put him in a grave of his own.

        Starred review from September 3, 2018
        Joe Talbert, last seen in Edgar-finalist Eskens’s debut, 2014’s The Life We Bury, is now a Minneapolis-based Associated Press reporter. In this brilliant sequel full of deeply developed characters, Talbert feels compelled to investigate after he runs across a story detailing the murder of Joe “Toke” Talbert, a person he never met but could have been his father, in the small southern Minnesota town of Buckley. A junk car collector rumored to be involved in more than a few felonious crimes, Toke could have been killed by any number of locals. Talbert’s search for answers becomes complicated when he discovers that Toke’s wife recently committed suicide and his late father stood in line to inherit millions. Eskens keeps readers guessing until the last pages in this darkly lyrical and brutally intimate story of one man’s journey of self-discovery. Agent: Amy Cloughley, Kimberley Cameron Agency.

        October 1, 2018
        In this sequel to Eskens' debut thriller, The Life We Bury? (2014), Joe Talbert is a reporter for the Associated Press in Minneapolis when he's faced with a handful of emergencies. First, he's sued for defamation by a state senator whose sex scandal Talbert's reporting revealed; Talbert won't give up his source, leaving his career uncertain. Then he learns that a Joseph Talbert has been killed in a small town just hours away; could it be the father he has never known? Joe leaves the apartment he shares with girlfriend Lila, who's studying for the bar exam, and his younger, autistic brother, Jeremy, to check out the murder. But his nosing around is not particularly welcome: his relationship to the victim, known as Toke Talbert (whom no one in town is sorry to see dead), is suspect, especially with a sizable inheritance at stake from land handed down to Toke's wife, who committed suicide months earlier. This may lack some of the tension of Eskens' debut, but murder, arson, betrayal, and reconciliation will keep pages turning and leave readers eager for more of Joe Talbert.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)

        After a spate of mysteries featuring Max Rupert, the Barry-winning, Edgar-nominated Eskens returns to the protagonist of his breakout debut, The Life We Bury. Now a cub reporter, Joe Talbert Jr. learns that the father he never met has been murdered, and he heads to the remote Minnesota town where the deed was done. No one there has anything good to say about the deceased, and Joe soon finds his own life up for grabs. With a 35,000-copy first printing.

        Joe Talbert's journalism career is on the line after a senator files suit over a story and Joe refuses to reveal his source. Just as Joe is forced to take a leave of absence, he receives word that his long-absent father has been murdered. Using the mystery of Joe "Toke" Talbert's death as a distraction from his legal worries, his responsibilities for his autistic brother, and a widening distance with his girlfriend, Joe takes off to investigate the killing. While he's not surprised to learn that Toke terrorized his neighbors, he's shocked to learn he might now be heir to a multimillion-dollar fortune. Even more shocking, he might have to split his fortune with a half-sister, Angel, if she survives an overdose-induced coma. Joe will have to wade into the waters of family dysfunction before he can find closure. VERDICT Featuring characters from Eskens's debut, The Life We Bury, this title by the "Max Rupert" mysteries author begins slowly but gains momentum as the circumstances surrounding Toke's death unravel. While the ending wraps up a little too perfectly, readers will enjoy the ride. Newcomers will be able to follow the story but may wish they had started with the first book.
