The seventh installment in the Woods Cop Mystery series. The discovery of skeletal remains in the UP wilderness sheds troubling light on an eighty-year-old cold case involving racism, gold, and murder. Combine that with a present day eco-terrorist whose guerrilla tactics (including a particularly gruesome trap called a “wolf tree”) make Rambo look like a cub scout; a thriving crystal meth industry in the UP; and DNR Detective Grady Service’s particular brand of grizzled, sexually tense, and action-packed police work.

Crime and death lurk behind every tree, under every rock, and within every raging river in the most action-packed Woods Cop Mystery yet.
