Rail Against Injustice

When the legendary Paulding Ghost may be the only witness to a murder committed deep in Michigan's northern woods, who gets the call? Detective Harlan Holmes postpones retirement to take the case in this third installment of John Marks' Peninsula Mysteries Series. The improbability of his star witness aside, advancing age and arthritis are trying to tell Holmes that this case is a bad idea. But he's not listening. And that denial will land him smack in the middle of a million-acre forest, pitted against stalkers of this world and perhaps another, on behalf of a client who has all but confessed to the crime. From murderous poachers to malevolent public officials, Marks shows us elements of the state's Upper Peninsula that you will never hear about from those who say it's "Pure Michigan."
