About the Book

Solemnly promised to his dying wife, in her terminal bout with cancer, Mike Gladdock swears he will buy the old Morris shack, where they dreamed of spending the rest of their lives. Deep in Michigan’s North Woods, it sits on a bluff overlooking some of the best brown trout pools in the Au Sable River.

His brother Wayne and he fly fished the big pool since childhood, become irretrievably angry at the intrusion, when they find the property sold and even more resentful that postings on the gate suggest preclusion of future access. Long laid plans for the remainder of Mike’s life—hopelessly crushed—the brothers investigate and find the new owner, a retired general may be using the site as a proposed assembly location for stolen military weaponry

Go along with the Gladdocks in their intensive quest for answers and with Mike, in a new relationship that arises out of his desire to incriminate the general. Listen to the moral guidance he receives from his deceased wife, and be a part of their plans to derail the general’s activities.


About the Author

His second novel; author, Doug Templin, a private investigator for two decades, and a marine business owner for as long;  canoed and fished the Au Sable.  Deeply affected by its beauty, isolation and the classic fishing it offered;  inspiration for the story bloomed.  It became the setting, into which he wove mystery, romance and enticing contact with the beyond.  
   
 Raised in the country, the author fly fished for the wary trout from boyhood, in native mountain streams northeast of Los Angeles and later, in the lakes, streams and rivers that abound in California’s High Sierra.
