Season’s Revenge

LARGE PRINT EDITION. In SEASON'S REVENGE, the first Steve Martinez mystery, the sleepy town of Porcupine City on the southern shore of Lake Superior comes alive when the body of a powerful resident turns up at a forest campsite, victim of what appears to be a bear attack. Things just don't add up for Sheriff Martinez. He soon discovers that the "random" animal attack might not be so random after all, for quite a few people in town had reason to do in Paul Passoja. The more Steve investigates, the deeper he sinks into a mystery as old as the town itself, and he learns the hard way that whoever killed Passoja is more than willing to kill again. But Steve's Native American ancestors never were ones to fold, and neither is he. SEASON'S REVENGE was a 2003 "BookSense 76 pick" by independent booksellers around the country.

Henry Kisor is the author of five Steve Martinez mysteries, Season’s Revenge, A Venture into Murder, Cache of Corpses, Hang Fire, and Tracking the Beast. A sixth, The Riddle of Billy Gibbs, is forthcoming. He and his wife Debby spend half the year in Evanston, Illinois, and the other half in a log cabin on the shore of Lake Superior in Ontonagon County, Michigan, the prototype of Porcupine County. He is also the author of three nonfiction books, What’s That Pig Outdoors: A Memoir of Deafness; Zephyr: Tracking a Dream Across America, and Flight of the Gin Fizz: Midlife at 4,500 Feet. He retired in 2006 after thirty-three years as an editor and critic for the old Chicago Daily News and the Chicago Sun-Times. In 1981 he was a nominated finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in criticism.
