Review Quotes: "An honest ear for dialog, a fine eye for the landscape and a storyteller's sense of drama converged when author Aaron Stander wrote this compelling Up North mystery. A satisfying way to spend a winter's weekend with hot cocoa and a blanket." -Traverse, Northern Michigan's Magazine "With a protagonist as deep and textured as Ray Elkins and a backdrop as varied as this resort community, Stander has created a high-quality mystery series. -Foreword Magazine. "Stander has written a solid, entertaining tale."-Lansing State Journal "Stander's Cedar County with its haunting sand dunes, woodlands and Lake Michigan-alternately raging and serene-shape and shade every character on the canvas." -Northern Express "A thriller of the first order. Stander evokes these north woods and Lake Michigan with a poet's eye and the drama of the human heart with a detective's wry, unflinching touch." -New York Times BESTSELLER Doug Stanton "Stander has a keen sense of what it takes to keep readers turning the pages of his books." -Grand Traverse Insider
