Synopsis

Set in the tumultuous days of 1970 as the University of Wisconsin anti-war movement imploded after a deadly campus bombing, Death on Cache Lake takes the reader on a dark odyssey through the lake wilds of Ontario, and the woods and small towns of Wisconsin. A fishing trip in Quetico Provincial Park turns violently tragic when friends Caleb Pratt and John Short cross paths with a former acquaintance who is running for his life, aided and abetted by a sociopathic mercenary. Death on Cache Lake is a must read for anyone who has ever paddled a canoe across a northern lake, hiked on an isolated mountain, or spent a night in a lonely cabin buffeted by a roaring blizzard. This spellbinding tale of political intrigue and conspiracy will also captivate history buffs who share the authors' fascination with American crimes that seem solvable but remain mysteries. Caleb and John's adrenaline-filled flight through Ontario to unravel the conspiracy and save their lives takes them on trains, hitch-hiked rides on trucks, cross country skis, and canoes, all at a breakneck pace climaxing in an unforgettable reckoning.
