Briar Island

Book excerpt: The road to Briar Island is an unmarked, gravel track that only someone with a persistent death wish would travel down. Along that road, it's best to drive with the windows up, the doors locked, and a loaded assault rifle under the seat. Vicki Brosko follows that road in search of the truth about her late husband's hunting accident. With a convicted felon named Ted Grainger at her side for protection, she abandons her better judgment and ventures deep into the dark heart of the north woods. At Briar Island, a grisly discovery leads to a lethal reunion of three shell-shocked Vietnam vets. When a festering grudge erupts into a savage feud, everyone soon learns that the shadow of Briar Island extends far beyond the incidental tragedy of one man's death. Briar Island . Are you up for it?
