 A
VENTURE INTO MURDER
Forge, 2005
A Venture into Murder,
Henry Kisor's second
mystery
featuring Deputy Steve Martinez, returns to Porcupine County, nestled
into the deceptively peaceful landscape of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Its seat is a small town where the residents all know one another, and
the latest gossip is never something that can be kept quiet for
long. But there's one secret that Porcupine County has tried
to
keep quiet for years . . . and those who try to uncover it sometimes
wind up dead.
Steve -- Lakota Sioux by birth, white by association -- fell in love
with the town after running away from a secret of his own. After
finding the love of his life, Steve was able to make peace with his
past and find comfort in the land that had been so good to his people.
The quiet is broken, however, after the discovery of the body of a mob
hit man. Then, during a routine operation, one of Steve's men literally
falls over the long-buried corpse of one of Porcupine County's missing
. . . a man who was last seen a century ago. The two deaths are
seemingly unrelated at first . . . but Steve Martinez isn't one to let
a matter of relation stop him.
As Steve probes deeper, he's confronted with problems both professional
and personal that could jeopardize everything: his career and his
relationship with the beautiful Ginny Fitzgerald--a wealthy widow with
quite a few secrets of her own.
Through shoot-outs and death-defying surveillance flights, Deputy Steve
Martinez is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the peace in the
land he loves, but he may find that -- even in the quietest of towns --
there are some things that are better left buried.
