Even though experienced angler Doc Osborne knows there are plenty of fish in the sea—in Loon Lake, Wisconsin, only police chief Lew Ferris qualifies as his catch of the day.

But just as the summer is heating up, the town gets turned upside down by the bizarre triple homicide discovered on a backcountry road. . . Peg Garmin was not Loon Lake's most beloved citizen. Considering her "calling" in life, no one was completely surprised when she was found murdered in the company of two exotic dancers. . . no one, that is, except for Ray Pradt, Peg's dearest friend.

As the team digs into the mystery of her past, they discover some startling connections to one of the wealthiest families in Chicago and to the buried secret that could destroy them. Now Lew, Osborne and Ray must root the skeletons out of the Garmin family closet before Peg's killer becomes the one who got away. . . .
