Rail Against Injustice
When the legendary Paulding Ghost may be the only witness to a murder committed deep in Michigan's northern woods, who gets the call?
Detective Harlan Holmes postpones retirement to take the case in this third installment of John Marks' Peninsula Mysteries Series. The improbability of his star witness aside, advancing age and arthritis are trying to tell Holmes that this case is a bad idea. But he's not listening. And that denial will land him smack in the middle of a million-acre forest, pitted against stalkers of this world and perhaps another, on behalf of a client who has all but confessed to the crime.
From murderous poachers to malevolent public officials, Marks shows us elements of the state's Upper Peninsula that you will never hear about from those who say it's "Pure Michigan."

I really enjoyed this mystery and the detectives involved in this Upper Michigan landscape and culture. It is book 3 in the series and I need to read the two others. The author did a fine job of defining the partner detectives, Harlon Holmes and Roz Cortez; Brains and Brawn! And Romance did not interfere. After all, there ends up to be not just one problem to solve but three! It could have gotten really messy with all the clues, red herrings and strategy. But it didn't!! A bit of the clever author's review of an earlier issue, that helps clear up a pressing issue, and we are off again on an inthralling mystery tour of a small town and county, in the winter and summer, on the border of N W Mighigan and Wisconsin. Very smart and cunning writing. Very fun and a page turner type of read.
