IT STARTS WITH A BODY-a young woman found dead in an Iowa cornfield, on one of the few family farms still managing to compete with the giants of Big Agriculture.
For Sergeant Riley Fisher, newly promoted to head of investigations at the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Office, an already horrific crime takes on a personal edge when she discovers the victim is an old friend, from a dark past she thought she'd left behind.
Rumour travels fast in small towns, while sweltering heat and state-wide elections only add to the pressure-cooker atmosphere. When another body is found, Riley is in danger of being engulfed by the fear and the frenzy. Something deeply disturbing is out there - and it reaches far beyond Black Hawk County.
Beautifully written and masterfully crafted, The Fields is a stunning crime debut.

A smart compelling thriller. Silence of the Lambs meets the Pelican Brief
Young delivers a disturbing, twist-riddled thriller stocked with well-drawn characters
What could be more all-American than a small town amid rolling fields of corn? But when a woman's body is found in those same fields, the dark truth beneath that wholesome image begins to emerge . . . From potential serial-killer investigation to high stakes political intrigue . . . THE FIELDS is an impressive debut
Murder, politics, family secrets, an iconic main character, and a fiendish plot. What's not to love?
[A] well-crafted procedural... vivid portraits of Black Hawk's denizens provide a compelling draw.

Get ready for the first novel in a new page-turning police procedural series
Real people you care about caught up in a thrilling plot. It gave me Mare of Easttown vibes. Surely a bestseller on both sides of the pond
Sharp with dark brilliance and a gripping panorama of characters, a detective who will pull you round and break your heart, Erin Young takes us deep into the Fields, dark heart of cruelty, conspiracy, betrayal, a web of lies, secrets and love. A world you don't want to leave, an all out, edge of your seat thriller you can't put down
With an eye for detail, Erin Young has provided a timely tale of mystery. Not only will the reader come away with a formidable knowledge of the changing landscape of our heartland, but Ms. Young introduces a strong female character who defies the odds to uncover the truth behind the murders in a previously quiet community

An immersive unravelling of small-town America with a gloriously chilling mystery at its core
The first two thirds of THE FIELDS is pure police procedural. The last third is a can't-put-it-down thriller. The breakneck speed at the end is bound to keep readers wide-eyed into the wee hours.... As the plot progresses and more bodies turn up, you learn what makes Iowa tick: agriculture, the state fair, small towns, and decent folk. But there are mysteries out there in the never-ending fields of organic gold
