description: A Norwegian tourist has been found murdered on the shore of Lake Superiorright where an Ojibwe man may have been killed more than one hundred years earlier. Four months later the official investigation is supposedly over but still not resolved and U.S. Forest Service officer Lance Hansen drawn into the mystery by his grisly discovery of the body is uncovering clues disturbingly close to home.His former father-in-law Willy Dupree may hold the key to the century-old murder of Swamper Caribou. And his own brother Andy might know more than hes tellingmore than he should knowabout the recent homicide. The relationship between the brothers takes a dangerous turn as their annual deer hunt becomes a deadly game.Steeped in the rich history of Lake Superiors rugged North Shore this follow-up to the Riverton Prizewinning The Land of Dreams pursues two tales through a bleak and beautiful landscape haunted by the lives and dreams of its Scandinavian immigrants and Native Americans. Hansen finds himself equally haunted by the complex mysteries that continue to unravel around him.
