Dead Catch

Dead Catch: A Sam Rivers Mystery

by Cary J. Griffith

Holden Riggins is a known poacher, so it's no surprise when two conservation officers find his fishing boat, anchored beside an illegal walleye net on Minnesota's Lake Vermilion. What is surprising is Holden's condition: He's nearly frozen to death. That's not the COs' most shocking discovery, Twisted and tangled within the twines of another nearby net is the body of their missing colleague.

The only person Holden will speak with is Sam Rivers, a special agent for the US Fish and Wildlife Service and a man Holden last saw when they were both 12 years old. Has Holden resurrected his illegal netting ring? Did he commit murder to evade the law? One thing is certain: Sam and his wolf dog, Gray, will follow the facts wherever they lead- but are they the ones reeling in suspects, or are they just the bait?
