About this listen

It’s Lew Ferris’s first day as the newly-elected Sheriff of McBride County, and already things are heating up in the Wisconsin Northwoods. The tragic drowning of a teenage girl draws an eerie parallel to the unsolved murder of another teen thirty years earlier, but one of Lew’s new subordinates—Alan Stern, Chief of the Deer Haven Police Department—has ruled it an accidental death by drowning.

Neither Lew nor the girl’s family accept the ruling, but Lew is up against a wall of sexism and subterfuge. Not only is Stern belligerent and dismissive of Lew, but he takes the word of the local coroner, Ed Pecore, who Lew believes is completely unqualified for the job. Adding to Lew’s headaches is unwelcome interference in the case by a multimillionaire resident reopening a cold case that stretches back decades—and could lead to an anguished relative taking justice into his own hands to avenge a crime the cops never solved.

And when Lew’s dear friend Dr. Paul “Doc” Osborne finds himself witness to a sophisticated money-laundering scheme that could threaten the lives of his daughter and her close friend, Lew finally feels like she’s reached the breaking point.

The fish may be biting in McBride County, but now Lew is on the line to uncover a long-buried secret that could ensnare a killer once and for all.

Another Great Story from Loon Lake

I’ve been a fan of the author’s writing for some years. This story is a great addition to the Loon Lake series. Ms Houston has a way of making you feel like you’re part of the story.

Strong Recommend!!!

Loon Lake series is better

I enjoyed Houston's other series, Loon Lake, but this series is predictable and superficial.
After first or second chapter you know that the most over-the-top bully; the most annoying, arrogant, sarcastic, entitled person or people are either going to get murdered or do the deed.
Also every book in this series could be a stand-alone because it repeats, in detail, all the personalities in the book.
Also much detail on fly-fishing, more than most people will ever need.
I guess I'm just disappointed in these books cuz the Loon Lake series was much better.
The narrater is different from Loon Lake series and sounds younger than Lew's age of 52, but to her credit she pronounces Wisconsin's vocabulary much better. But then, she wasn't challenged with 'crappie' or 'bratwurst'.
