Swan Peak by James Lee Burke

 

A grim novel about crime and corruption, and the past catching up to the present, with more than a little in the subtext about it infiltrating beautiful places--and scarring beautiful souls. Complex, prismatically so, with insights into all the POV characters. There's at least one vague redemption arc, probably unexpected but earned. The big "twist" is one I saw like a hundred pages before it landed--which felt mostly like the author putting in the work for it. Also, of course, lots of juicy turns of phrase--Burke does that particularly well.
