The Truth in Hope

Set against the contrasting backdrops of Wisconsin's pristine Northwoods, known as God's country, and the hustle and bustle of the Windy City, unfolds a mystery of unique characters with complicated pasts and conflicting agendas-the innocent, the socialites, the vigilantes, the village chief of police, the world-weary veteran detective, and the trust-fund sluggard.

When the body of a twenty-six-year-old ne'er-do-well from an elite family of Chicago's North Shore is found half-consumed by wildlife with a single bullet hole in his head and even fewer witnesses, veteran Wisconsin homicide detective Bennett Coleman is called upon to assemble the pieces of this masterful puzzle.

Former DA Roger Simpson's inaugural effort will keep your curiosity piqued and pages turning while you race at breakneck speed through the Northwoods and the grit of Chicago's justice system.
