When the body of a lovely young woman is found floating
beneath a party pontoon on a popular lake in northern
Wisconsin on the same morning that a prominent widow is
found bludgeoned in her gracious home, Loon Lake Police
Chief Lew Ferris is caught short-handed.
This is not a problem for Doc Osborne whom she deputizes to
act as coroner and to assist with the investigation. Fishing
aside, there’s nothing Osborne likes better than helping Lew
-- a world-class fly fisherman in her own right – delve into
Loon Lake’s criminal underworld. They’re joined in their
efforts to untangle two seemingly unrelated murders by
walleye-expert, talented tracker and teller of really bad
jokes, Ray Pradt.
A charming resort town on the surface, life in Loon Lake
turns murky as bank officials soon discover that both
victims’ accounts have been looted – along with a dozen
others. One grisly development after another further links
the two murders even though the victims did not know each
other. Wealthy Chicagoans, visiting entrepreneurs and the
young denizens of “Party Cove” complicate the scene. Whoever
thought life in the Northwoods could be this dangerous?
