Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Since when are vacations ever relaxing? All Chicago police Detective Paul Turner is hoping for on his annual retreat from the city and his job is a little peace and quiet. This time he's headed to the Canadian Great North Woods for a couple of weeks with family and friends — his two teenaged sons, his lover Ben, neighborhood pals, and his long-term police partner, Detective Buck Fenwick, along with his wife. But hopes of tranquility are soon crushed when Turner intervenes in a scuffle between a group of First Nations teens and a local bully and his cohorts. In the days following the incident, Turner and company find themselves the object of a series of attacks, break-ins, and sabotage of their equipment. Unable to get the attention of the local police, the events continue to escalate, culminating in the local bully's dead body being found floating in the water near the dock of their houseboat. Making this not only one of the least relaxing vacations ever, but one of the deadliest. Review:"In Zubro's entertaining if uneven ninth Paul Turner mystery (after 2005's Nerds Who Kill), murder rudely interrupts the Chicago police detective's annual fishing trek to Canada. Turner has rented two houseboats on Lake of the Woods with his two sons; his lover, Ben; and the family of his detective partner, Buck Fenwick. Though longtime summer visitors, the Chicagoans soon become targets of antigay harassment. When they report a fight between bully Scarth Krohn's gang and First Nation (Canadian Indian) kids, the local police chief sides with the bullies. Threats and intimidation escalate until Krohn is found floating dead in the lake. When the corrupt police chief arrests a First Nation's teen who had been Krohn's enemy, the detectives reluctantly hang up their rods and start investigating. While series fans will enjoy seeing old friends in action, others may be irritated by excessive dialogue that slows the narrative, particularly in the middle."
