Coniston — Volume 02

A ten-dollar bill appears in William Wetherell’s pocket—and the man who slipped it there insists nobody sent him. Then he asks Wetherell to vote “right.”

In the small New Hampshire town of Coniston, politics reaches even those who want nothing to do with it. Jethro Bass’s power stretches across the state, and his lieutenant Bijah Bixby has come to make sure the locals understand who runs things. But Wetherell, a literary-minded storekeeper already beset by troubles, is appalled to find himself drawn into the contest—and angrier still when he realizes how easily fear can keep him silent. With his daughter Cynthia asking the plain question he cannot answer, will he find the courage to confront Bijah, or let Jethro’s influence close around him?
