The Shadow Over Innsmouth
The book is set during the winter of 1927-28 and follows a secret investigation conducted by officials of the Federal government in the ancient Massachusetts seaport of Innsmouth. The investigation involves raids, arrests, and the destruction of crumbling and supposedly empty houses along the abandoned waterfront. Despite the public perception that these actions were part of the government's war on liquor, keen news followers are suspicious of the large number of arrests, the secrecy surrounding the prisoners, and the lack of trials or charges. Innsmouth is left depopulated, and liberal organizations that complain about the situation become passive and reticent after discussions and visits to camps and prisons. Newspapermen eventually cooperate with the government, except for one tabloid that reports about a diving submarine that discharged torpedoes near Devil Reef. The general public mutters about Innsmouth but remains secretive about what they have whispered and hinted about the town for years.
