Book description
Ninth in the Loon Lake Mysteries
Murder never takes a holiday... or so Loon Lake learns one
wintry Thanksgiving Day. Chief of Police Lew Ferris, short-handed
thanks to an AWOL coroner, never even gets the turkey stuffed before
the bodies start to surface. By the end of the day, credit card theft
and dysfunctional families have so muddied the waters that not even
expert tracker and dedicated fishing guide, Ray Pradt, can hope to
fish the final day of muskie season. And while retired dentist, Doc
Osbornse, had counted on sitting by the fire with Lew (out of uniform)
and planning a fly fishing trip to Wyoming--the unexpected arrival of
Gina Palmer, former investigative reporter turned forensics database
expert, ramps up the action with her pursuit of a Canadian link to the
theft of merchandise from stores across the upper Midwest.
Dead Hot Shot, ninth in the Loon Lake Mystery series, is
a heady mix of murder, mayhem and fishing in the northwoods of Wisconsin.
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.
