"A calm lake is a lying bastard that fools see as a beautiful woman. Superior's no lady. And this ain't water... This is the blood of a Godless monster."
Capt. Bruce McQueeg
VAMPIRES & PIRATES
a Lake Superior Mystery
Three years after the murder of his wife, John Haig returns to Lake Superior in search of his soul. To shake the cobwebs, he hires an old boat captain to take him to a remote outer island for a camping trip. Some claim the Captain, Bruce McQueeg is a shady character who never sets foot on land. Oddly, he is quite familiar with Haig's past, and sums him up with an uneasy admiration–– another man who's been through hell and back. He shares his story with Haig, a story that breaks the boundries of reality. Yet it contains elements of love, loss and grief, which grind the story home to John Haig.
...Minutes after he's dropped off on the island, he hears a woman's cry for help. A woman whose plight will connect Haig to McQueeg in an extraordinary alliance of chance and fate.
