Cache of Corpses (Steve Martinez Mysteries Book 3)

Porcupine City is a peaceful little town in Michiganâ€™s Upper Peninsula, the kind where everyone knows everyone else and good-natured gossip is a prime source of entertainment. The residents enjoy a quiet life far removed from the comings and goings of larger cities. Itâ€™s certainly the last place anyone would think of using as the backdrop for a high-tech, high-thrill treasure hunt.

Until the first gruesome clue is found: a headless corpse wrapped in plastic.

Deputy Steve Martinezâ€”Lakota Sioux by birth, Porcupine City native by associationâ€”has investigated many crimes, but none more surprising than the case before him now. When clues at the first crime scene lead to a second headless corpse, Steve realizes this is someoneâ€™s twisted idea of a game. And these events couldnâ€™t come at a worse time: the election for county sheriff is fast approaching and the sudden rash of bodies is just the sort of ammunition Steveâ€™s opponent is all too eager to use against him. Luckily Steveâ€™s longtime love, beautiful redhead Ginny Fitzgerald, is still by his side, but even that relationship becomes strained as Steve searches for a way to connect with her foster son, Tommy.

This is Steveâ€™s toughest investigation yetâ€”one that spreads from secret Internet chatrooms into Chicagoâ€™s seedy underbelly, and even takes to the air above Porcupine County. It will take all of Deputy Martinezâ€™s patience and cunning to catch a sociopath whoâ€™s after the next forbidden rush. It might also force him to face some unpleasant truths about the locals he has sworn to protect.

â€œHenry Kisor writes with compassion and humor about the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a place thatâ€™s cash-poor but rich in character. . . . Kisor develops the mystery with expertise while working the political race for some nice laughs. But he really hooks us with his whimsy-free descriptions of lifeâ€”from wedding dances and town-hall debates to the dead-end future seen in the eyes of a high-school dropoutâ€”in this beautiful but economically depressed region,â€ wrote Marilyn Stasio in her New York Times Book Review mystery column.

Roger Ebert, the Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic, wrote: â€œAdd Henry Kisorâ€™s deputy sheriff Steve Martinez to the list with Lew Archer and Travis McGee. . . . Kisorâ€™s riveting plot weaves together computer gamesmanship, gruesome forensics, local politics, wary romance and inherited Indian instincts into a terrifically readable thriller . . . Couldnâ€™t put it down.â€
