A young woman accuses a prominent local college athlete of rape. Convicted with the help of undisputable DNA evidence, the athlete swears his innocence and threatens both his lawyer and his accuser as he's sent to prison.

Tim Johnston
Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United StatesIn the dead of winter, outside a small Minnesota town, state troopers pull two young women and their car from the icy Black Root River. What happened was no accident, and news of the crime awakens the community’s memories of another young woman who lost her life in the same river 10 years earlier, and whose killer may still live among them. Tim Johnston, whose breakout debut Descent was called “astonishing,” “dazzling,” and “unforgettable” by critics, returns with The Current (Algonquin), a tour de force about the indelible impact of a crime on the lives of innocent people.
