Dead Loudmouth

Its a bright summer morning in Loon Lake when Police Chief Lewellyn Ferris is called to the scene of a horrific accident that occurred in the dead of night at a local gentlemans club. The club is owned by one of the victims, a member of the private Deer Creek Fishing and Hunting Preserve and the scion of a wealthy Wisconsin family. When the county coroner is unavailable due to a car accident, Chief Ferris deputizes her close friend and fellow fly-fisherman, retired dentist Doc Osborne, to step in. Osbornes discovery of mysterious footprints confirms Chief Ferriss suspicions: this is no accident; its murder. Leaning on Doc Osborne for his forensic and interrogation skills, Lew also hopes to enlist the help of Ray Pradt, fishing guide and expert tracker. But Rays time is limited as he is coaching the University of Wisconsins fishing team in a muskie fishing tournament. Things get complicated when Doc Osbornes granddaughter disappears on the first day of the tournament. Sunny June days turn dark as a desperate search ensues.
