In Porcupine County there lies a small Michigan town where the people all know one another and gossip cannot be silenced for long. But there's one secret that someone has tried to keep quiet for years...and those who try to uncover it seem to wind up dead. Deputy Steve Martinez lost his heart to the region after running away from a secret of his own. The peace and quiet is broken when a mob hit man's corpse washes up on the shore of Lake Superior. Then, during a routine police operation, one of Steve's colleagues falls over the long-buried body of one of Porcupine County's missing persons - a man who had been last seen alive almost a century before. The two deaths are seemingly unrelated...at first. Steve's investigations lead him through shootouts and hair-raising fights in a small plane. He is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the peace in the land he loves, but he destined to discover that some things are better left buried.
