 SEASON'S
REVENGE
Forge, 2003
Season's Revenge, the first
in the Upper
Peninsula
of Michigan mystery series
featuring Steve Martinez, begins during the weeks before Christmas. Big
events are stirring for Lakota-born deputy
sheriff Steve Martinez. The normally sleepy town of Porcupine
City on the southern shore of Lake Superior is uncharacteristically
alive with activity after the body of one
of its most respected and powerful residents, Paul Passoja, turns up at
a forest
campsite, the victim of what appears to be a bear attack.
From the moment he arrives on the scene, things just don't add up for
Steve. Why would Passoja, a skilled camper and hunter, be
careless enough to scatter bacon grease near his tent? Led by
curiosity, Steve begins an unofficial investigation of the mishap only
to discover that the "random" animal attack might not be so random
after all. It seems that quite a few people in town had reason to do
in Passoja, but the evidence points to no one in particular.
The more Steve investigates, the deeper he sinks into a mystery as old
as the town itself. The seemingly peaceful forest haven was once a
hotbed of treachery, and ill will only ripens with age. As he gets
closer to the murderer, Steve learns the hard way that whoever killed
Paul Passoja is more than willing to kill again. But Steve's Native
American ancestors never were ones to fold,
and neither is he.
Season's Revenge, originally published
in hardcover,
was a
2003 "BookSense 76 pick" by
independent
booksellers around the country, and is available as a Forge
paperback.
