Book description
Even though experienced angler Doc Osborne knows there are plenty of
fish in the sea--in Loon Lake, Wisconsin, only police chief Lew Ferris
qualifies as his catch of the day.
But just as the summer is heating up, the town gets turned upside
down by the bizarre triple homicide discovered on a backcountry road.
. . Peg Garmin was not Loon Lake's most beloved citizen. Considering
her ''calling'' in life, no one was completely surprised when she was
found murdered in the company of two exotic dancers. . . no one, that
is, except for Ray Pradt, Peg's dearest friend.
As the team digs into the mystery of her past, they discover some
startling connections to one of the wealthiest families in Chicago and
to the buried secret that could destroy them. Now Lew, Osborne and Ray
must root the skeletons out of the Garmin family closet before Peg's
killer becomes the one who got away. . .
In her teens and twenties, mystery author Victoria Houston
was the classic hometown girl who couldn't wait to leave her small
Wisconsin town. She has not only returned to her hometown,
Rhinelander, but she has based her popular Loon Lake mystery series in
the region's fishing culture. She has been featured in the Wall
Street Journal and on National Public Radio.
