Gitche Gu'mee (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781519714169)

By the shores of Gitche Gu'mee; Murder, Intrigue, Danger and Love. A large cast of characters; occasionally humorous; frequently just plain silly. Blasted out of their sleeping bags at three o'clock in the morning by an explosion near their wilderness campsite in Superior National Forest, Marguerite, a medical student from France, and her younger brother, Henri, find themselves in an unplanned adventure. Eighty miles away Robert and James, fifty-something brothers, en-route to a family wedding in Canada, discover a gruesome corpse washed up on the rocky North Shore of Lake Superior. The travel plans of the two brothers and the French siblings' backpacking trek through North America are interrupted by twists of fate. The four strangers are thrown together, running from a common danger while figuring out who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. Excerpts of Longfellow's epic poem, The Song of Hiawatha, are sprinkled throughout the story along with just a pinch of pathos, the right amount of comic relief, a man and woman a generation apart pushed and pulled by their attraction to each other, powerful cars in high speed chases, oodles of interesting and colorful characters, a couple corpses, global political intrigue and danger for our four adventurers. All this makes for an exciting weekend in the beautiful wilderness of Superior National Forest along the shores of Gitche Gu'mee.
