About the book
Set in Minnesota, Gone to Dust is the New York Times bestselling debut private eye murder mystery from Emmy Award-winning Seinfeld writer Matt Goldman.
A brutal crime. A flawless cover-up. How does one solve a murder when there is no usable evidence?
Private investigator Nils Shapiro is trying to move on from his ex-wife and stay warm during another frigid Minneapolis winter when his former colleague, Detective Anders Ellegaard from the neighboring Edina Police Department, reaches out with an impossible task.
Suburban divorcee Maggie Somerville was discovered dead in her bedroom, her body covered in dust from hundreds of emptied vacuum cleaner bags, all potential DNA evidence hidden by the meticulous killer.
Delving into Maggie’s cell phone records, Nils discovers that the number dialed most frequently belongs to a mysterious young woman whose true identity could destroy the Somerville family—but could she also be a murderer?
When the FBI insists that Nils close the case, he and Ellegaard are forced to go undercover,plunging deeper into a shadowy investigation where the truth is as murky as the contents of the vacuum cleaner bags. Is this a twisted case of domestic violence or something more sinister?
