The third book in the Robin Hamilton mystery series set in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Growing up on the northern shore of Lake Michigan in the town of Escanaba, Michigan, Robin Hamilton couldn't wait to get away from the isolation and cold, snowy weather to the bright lights of Chicago and a job with the Tribune. After her fiance Mitch, a suburban Chicago cop, is gunned down while on duty, Robin escapes back to the peace and quiet of her Upper Peninsula hometown, but finds that neither distance nor a job with the local paper can erase the memories, nightmares and questions of who killed Mitch.
A resident Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Nancy Barr grew up in the tiny town of Rapid River nestled at the top of Little Bay de Noc. Her favorite memories as a young child are of weekly trips to the neighborhood library with her late mother to spend hours poring over books of all kinds. Her love of reading and writing led her to a career in newspaper journalism where she spent several years covering police, courts, schools and local governments and now works at Michigan Technological University. An animal aficionado, she lives on the Keweenaw Peninsula with three demanding, but lovable, cats. When not writing, Nancy enjoys hiking and photographing the natural beauty that abounds in the Upper Peninsula. Her novels include "Page One: Hit and Run" (July 2006, Arbutus Press) and "Page One: Vanished" (May 2007, Arbutus Press). She is a member of Sisters in Crime and Mystery Writers of America."
