Search - Six-Pound Walleye: A Jake Hines Mystery (Jake Hines Mysteries (Hardcover))

It's a gray, bone-chilling February in Rutherford, Minnesota, and bad moods are contagious. Things go from bad to worse when a schoolboy suddenly collapses while waiting for the bus and is pronounced DOA from a gunshot wound to the heart.

Across town, a riot breaks out among members of the hockey team in the high school parking lot, apparently instigated by the police chief's son. For detective Jake Hines, spring is still a very long way off.

Fighting the winter blues north of the forty-third parallel requires a change in attitude, something Jake is able to do as he tackles these highly sensitive cases. When a call about the shooting of a dog provides Jake and his team with the missing link, things start to heat up -- and bring a killer's blood to the boiling point.
