"The debut of a frighteningly knowledgeable and wonderfully entertaining series." New York Times. "A fishing guide on the Madison reels in the body of a young man with a Royal Wulff trout fly stuck through his lip and a stick jammed into his eye. It's an easily explained drowning, so some would like to think. But Sheriff Martha Ettinger disagrees and her suspicions lead her to an unlikely alliance with Montana newcomer Sean Stranahan. Fly fisher, painter, and has-been private detective, Stranahan has been hried to find a sultry siren's missing brother. As the water temperature rises, the clues point Stranahan and Ettinger to Montana's big business: fly fishing. Where there's money, there's bound to be crime." Post-G.E.M Skues angling literature being largely devoid of sultry sirens, this book will surely find a ready audience.
