Lake Superior Mystery – serie

Small-town reporter Vince Marshall faces looming deadlines, an over-the-edge boss, a wife he suspects is cheating, and the challenge of balancing his career while raising a toddler. The last thing he needs is for his mother to become the suspect in a mysterious woman’s death—a story he’s covering for the local newspaper.Vince searches for answers and runs up against the town’s irascible police chief, an untouchable influential family, and a rogue detective—who are all trying to kill the story for their own reasons. Even more mystifying is his usually opinionated mother’s infuriating silence. The harder he tries to uncover the truth, the more he realizes just how deep the levels of secrecy in this small Lake Superior town really go. With each exposed lie, Vince risks losing everything: his family, friends, and reputation.As Apostle Bay—which is already divided by contentious union negotiations and teenage drug use—struggles to survive the scandal, Vince must decide just how far he’s willing to delve into a world of deception, deceit, and self-discovery.

Small-town reporter Vince Marshall has a plan to be a better dad—wean himself from his cell phone and a 24/7 work mentality and spend more time with his toddler. But when his daughter discovers the local judge swinging from a noose at the playground and Vince’s friend becomes a murder suspect, that plan unravels. With toddler in tow, Vince knocks heads with a coworker out for his beat and a mayor with questionable motives while chasing clues left by a senile grave robber. Meanwhile, arson, vandalism, domestic violence, and a contested election have the normally staid residents of Apostle Bay, a quaint harbor town on the southern shore of Lake Superior, at odds. Add Vince’s wife Deb to the mix, leading a contentious protest at City Hall, and Vince finds his life once again out of control. Restoring order and saving his friend will require following a trail of deception to the solution of a 150-year-old mystery.

Earl Parsons is a champion musher with a notorious past; he left Apostle Bay as a pariah, and his return for a sled dog race opens both old and new wounds in the community. Ex FBI agent Steve Olsen is obsessed by the one case he couldn’t close, spending his retirement stalking the prime suspect and seeking redemption. Gina Holt’s daughter disappeared fourteen years ago and is presumed dead. Friends can’t understand why she’s bent on helping the man who was responsible a second time. And someone is booby-trapping community trails, endangering tourists and snowmobilers. Only a vigilante group that police loathe may have the manpower to prevent the next attack. Reporter Vince Marshall is possibly the only one who can solve all these dilemmas, yet he’s more concerned about his wife’s mysterious illness than solving riddles of Apostle Bay’s past. A Lake Superior winter brings with it some snow and a good dose of mayhem to this Vince Marshall thriller.
