The Blue Water Mysteries
In the Dead of Winter Victoria Treadwell, dispatcher for the sheriff's office, is driving to work in a snowstorm when she sees a car fish-tailing behind her. Horrified, she watches at the car swerves off the road. When she heads back to help, she finds the driver bent over the steering wheel and barely breathing. In the back seat is a tiny child in a pink snowsuit. Her eyes are shut and she's not making a sound.
After calling for an ambulance, she dials her boss, Pete Manstead, Undersheriff, of Charlevoix County. The ambulance arrives and the paramedic tries to shock the woman's heart back into rhythm, but the driver, who they learn is named Carly Yellowwood, is unable to be revived. From the autopsy, Pete finds Carly died of a drug overdose, although the perplexed pathologist says there was no evidence she ever used drugs. The coroner lists the cause of death as murder. There hasn't been a murder in Charlevoix County in decades. Undersheriff Pete is out of his depth. Sending his deputies to visit Carly's neighbors, Pete and learns she has been seeing two men. One is her ex-husband, Joe Yellowwood, a Native American living on the nearby reservation. No one knows the identity of the second man. Since Carly Yellowwood was divorced and has a new boyfriend. Pete believes it’s a crime of passion. Victoria, who hopes to adopt Carly's motherless child, thinks the motive is far darker. |
