Grief-stricken yet determined to find how and why her brother – and the others - died, Chief Ferris enlists the expertise of the Wausau Crime Lab where a new forensic pathologist proves adept with the latest in DNA research and technology. No sooner is an APB put out in search of the woman’s son than two young boys make a grisly discovery while exploring a dilapidated logger’s shack hidden deep in the forest. What appears to be the result of drunk driving raises questions, especially when the son of the landowner, a suspected sexual predator, disappears. The unexpected death of Lew’s beloved brother under suspicious circumstances is followed by the fatal accident of a wealthy landowner, a woman. In Wolf Hollow: A Lew Ferris Mystery – and a spin-off from Victoria Houston’s Loon Lake Mystery Series – the day Lew makes the decision to run for sheriff is the day her world explodes. Spring has just arrived when Loon Lake Chief of Police Lew Ferris decides to run for Sheriff of McBride County. The E-book version of Wolf Hollow will be on sale for $1.99 the week of February 6 to February 14. The fish may be biting in McBride County-but now, Lew is on the line to uncover the long-buried secret that could ensnare a killer once and for all. 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. Adding to Lew’s headaches, an unwelcome interference in the case by a multimillionaire resident reopens 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.
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. Neither Lew nor the girl’s family accept the ruling, but Lew is up against a wall of sexism and subterfuge. 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.
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. Sheriff Lew Ferris knows how to land a sweet brook trout-but can she catch a cold-blooded killer in the thrilling second installment in the Lew Ferris mysteries.
