Summary: It's a bright summer
morning in Loon Lake when Police Chief Lewellyn Ferris is called to the scene
of a horrific accident that occurred in the dead of night at a local
gentleman's club. The club is owned by one of the victims, a member of the
private Deer Creek Fishing and Hunting Preserve and the scion of a wealthy
Wisconsin family. When the county coroner is unavailable due to a car accident,
Chief Ferris deputizes her close friend and fellow fly-fisherman, retired
dentist "Doc" Osborne, to step in.
Osborne's discovery of mysterious footprints confirms Chief Ferris's suspicions: this is no accident; it's murder. Leaning on Doc Osborne for his forensic and interrogation skills, Lew also hopes to enlist the help of Ray Pradt, fishing guide and expert tracker. But Ray's time is limited as he is coaching the University of Wisconsin's fishing team in a muskie fishing tournament. Things get complicated when Doc Osborne's granddaughter disappears on the first day of the tournament. Sunny June days turn dark as a desperate search ensues.
Angie’s comments: Part of a series, the book can work as a stand-alone. Every
character is a bit…interesting, and there is no lack of suspects. It is a nice
easy mystery read that doesn’t have too much gore or violence.
Recommended for mystery readers who like
small-town settings.
