Anchor Murder

When fishermen discover a disembodied foot tied to an anchor in Voyageur's National Park, Doug and Jill Fletcher are called in to identify the victim and the circumstances of his death.

A retired policeman's recollections of an unsolved disappearance provides an explanation, but the dots don't connect. The colorful locals at a resort offer plausible theories on the victim's identity and the cause of his death. Marks on a stolen anchor and unusual knots on the frayed anchor rope offer the only concrete evidence.

S. Peters-Davis Editorial Review

Doug Fletcher Mystery # 18 – Excellent mystery for Doug and Jill Fletcher to investigate. Captivated by the first chapter, I couldn't put this book down. A 'who-done-it' to the very end, one that keeps the reader locked in, wading through the possibilities, and there are plenty. Gripping, tense moments with the perfect cast of characters, especially Doug and Jill, as if you've known them all your life. Mr. Hovey's books would make a fantastic series come to life on television.
