0373263880 0373263880 From the Publisher When ex-newsman Fitzgerald gets a call from a former colleague asking him to track down a missing stringer for a Detroit paper, he follows the reporter's trail to a story of the controversial "catch and release" fishing policy in Michigan's lower peninsula - and gets quickly hooked by a new murder. The reporter is dead, shot in the head while she sat at her computer. But she didn't die alone: her husband, rumored to be a local bootlegger, is found dead a few miles away, same execution style. With the help of his girlfriend, Department of Natural Resources agent Mercy Virdon, Fitzgerald picks up the dead's woman's investigation into a group of angry anglers, the Catch and Keep Alliance and their mysterious defenders, a powerful militia group. Soon he's wading into treacherous waters, where a killer is baiting a new hook. A former journalish, Ronald Weber is also a professor of American studies at the University of Notre Dame. Worldwide Mystery published his most recent title, THE ALUMINUM HATCH, featuring his unusual yet endearing characters, Mercy Virdon and Fitzgerald. Charlotte Austin Review . . . a slow, steady pace with building suspense and a gripping conclusion. Library Journal Fitzgerald, the lottery-winning journalist from Weber's The Aluminum Hatch, spends his time in Michigan fishing and trying to write a novel when he gets caught up in another murder mystery. Checking on a local newspaper "stringer" for a friend in Detroit, Fitzgerald discovers the woman dead--assassination style. Suspicion falls on her always-skirting-the-law husband until he, too, is found dead. Fitzgerald shares clues with the local sheriff and with girlfriend Mercy, signs that point to bootlegging, dangerous local militants, and ongoing turmoil surrounding fishing regulations. A few quirky characters, a temperamental setting, and solid prose make this a pleasing sequel for fans. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
