Henry Kisor, former Books Editor for the Chicago Sun-Times, impresses with his third novel, an excellent mystery featuring Sheriff's Deputy Steve Martinez. Michigan's Upper Peninsula is being littered with corpses, hidden in obscure places as part of a twisted game of geocaching, and it's up to Martinez to track down the culprits. Well developed characters and an interesting plot combine to make Cache of Corpses a very pleasing read.
(Note: Henry gave me my start at the Sun-Times. But he hasn't done anything for me lately, so I'm telling the truth about his book.)
(Second note: Ignore that horrible cover. Cache of Corpses is not a light-hearted romp involving forest fauna.)
The squirrel adds just the right touch of noir.
