Crow Wing Dead
by Midge Bubany
When Detective Cal Sheehan learns no one's heard from his childhood friend Mike Hawkinson in days, he begins an unofficial investigation. Cal follows a lead from Minnesota to Las Vegas, and back again. When "Hawk's" car is later found abandoned north of Prairie Falls, Birch County officially opens a missing person's case, which allows Cal to hunt for his buddy and investigate the strange circumstances surrounding his disappearance. But Cal doesn't know whether he's conducting a search and rescue--or a kidnapping and murder investigation--all as he's dealing with the blowback from a family tragedy.
