Book Mole: Thirsty Creek

Recent history is full of examples of humans messing with nature in order to increase profits, only to cause lasting ecological damage that wasn’t taken into account. The mystery novel Thirsty Creek, by Portland lawyer and writer Jennie Bricker, reviewed by writer and photographer Matt Witt, draws from an actual example of that here in Oregon. 

Fifty percent of proceeds from Thirsty Creek support the Nez Perce Wallowa Homeland, a place-based nonprofit in Wallowa, Oregon.
