Murder in the Dell

A small Wisconsin town tucked into the trees along Lake Superior finds its quiet life turned upside down when the bodies of young women begin to turn up in the frozen forests around Bayfield County. The mystery falls to Sheriff Deacon Davis, head of the smallest department in the most remote area in the state. The Bodies are found wrapped in black polyethylene construction plastic. As the bodies start to collect in the morgue, Davis begins to sort out the pieces of the puzzle. When the FBI is called in by the family of one of the victims, the agents try and keep Davis and his team away from the investigation. Dubbed the BLACK PLASTIC KILLER by the press, the murders begin to come faster and the residents of the county begin to fear for their own safety. The bodies have all been found in the heavily wooded areas around the tiny town of Washburn. As the investigation continues, the FBI moves in one direction while Davis and the team quietly follow a different trail. "When no crime scenes are found, Davis is forced to look under every rock and every dark hole in the county. As he confronts the worst of the criminal elements in the state, he becomes obsessed with the hunt to put a real name to the Black Plastic Killer. "Entwistle surprises in a genre switch with a murder mystery worthy of greats like Robert B. Parker, Robert Crais and Jim Thompson. An incredible thriller that keeps you wondering around every turn and obscurely laid clue" ___ Dr. Liane Laroque, author, writer and editor. 2018 CIPA Merit award winner.
