A summer mystery in 1966 Minnesota

Set in a rural Minnesota town in the summer of 1966, the story pairs a murder mystery with a coming-of-age account of friendship. Max Scanlan and Charlie Scerbiak question the explanation accepted by the police and townspeople, and their effort to uncover what happened draws them into danger. Ball games and bike rides frame a community unsettled by a suspicious death, while the boys’ investigation brings the town’s secrets and their bond into focus.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in young adult crime fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy mysteries involving friends investigating a suspicious death.
  • Readers drawn to stories set in small-town America in the 1960s.

Book overview

Best friends solve a murder in the summer of 1966 in rural America.

The summer was supposed to be about ball games, bike rides, and afternoons in the sun. For best friends Max Scanlan and Charlie Scerbiak, life in their small Minnesota town is safe and simple, yet full of adventure.

But when a suspicious death shocks the community, everything changes. While the police and townspeople are certain they know who's guilty, Max and Charlie begin to doubt the story everyone else accepts.

Determined to uncover the truth, the boys dive headfirst into a mystery that leads them down a shadowy path. What begins as curiosity soon becomes a fight for survival.

HEARTLAND HEROES by Mark Reps is a nostalgic coming-of-age story filled with mystery, small-town secrets, and friendship tested in the face of fear.
