The Moonhawker
It is June of 1976 when Atticus Gunner pulls up in front of West High School, parks in a visitor parking space, and walks into the building-ready to begin his foray into school administration as the new assistant principal. He has no idea that in just a few hours, his life will change forever. Later that day, during an unexpected meeting with his divorce attorney, Gunner-a former member of a top-secret operations unit-finds that his unique experience of identifying and hunting down escaped Nazis suspected of war atrocities is once again in high demand. After an anonymous philanthropic organization makes him a job offer he cannot refuse, he and his two young daughters very shortly find themselves on a thirty-two-foot sloop headed for an island in northern Lake Michigan. Directed to head a school of only one hundred students, it is not long before Gunner realizes he has embarked on a dangerous adventure. In this riveting thriller filled with unexpected twists and turns, one man is inadvertently propelled on an unforgettable journey through intrigue, romance, and murder. In the process, he'll discover more about himself than he ever imagined.

Great book with so many intriguing characters. I loved that this book took place in Wisconsin, notably, Madison and Door County/ Washington Island.

Set mainly on Washington Island, Wisconsin, this intrigue/whodunit/adventure novel is a blast. A lot of the flavor is "Island Life" comes out as well as enough facts scattered about the tale to make it very interesting!
Very hard to not write a "spoiler review" so I will leave the next reader to enjoy the plot unspoiled. Character development is excellent, detail is really neat, and even the seasons come alive with George Fox's storytelling.
A great read that I ripped through in two sessions.
