Retired forensic scientist and Bayfield resident CoCo Cadotte joins in the pursuit of the answers. The final solution is revealed in the Great Room of the Lightkeeper's Lodge of the Inn on Madeline Island.

Madison Police Detective Molders has finally retired after a 29 year career and is living his dream, exploring Lake Superior aboard his 31 foot Gozzard sailboat. When his plans are interrupted by engine trouble, Molders sails to the Madeline Island Yacht Club for repairs. There, he is reunited with his old detective buddy Ron Helgusen and his old Isle Royale ranger partner, Katelynn "Tommy" Tomaczeski. Retired from MPD, Ron is now serving as the interim police chief for the tiny La Pointe Police Department on the island and "Tommy" is his only full time police officer. Ron asks Molders to help him look into some suspicious activity on the island. When the bodies start to pile up, Molders comes out of retirement to help investigate. Molders encounters old friends and old enemies in his pursuit of justice. The investigation uncovers the presence of ex-military and ex-intelligence operators mysteriously on the island. Further investigation reveals evidence linking murder to the operators efforts to keep their activities secret. Receiving little help from federal bureaucracies, Molders and his small team, outnumbered and out gunned, battle for justice.

Book Description
Many decades before Ted Bundy roamed the country there was serial killer Earle Nelson. During the 1920s, this geographically mobile killer went from city to city. His modus operandi involved getting into a house by pretending to be a person looking for a room to rent or inspecting a house that was for sale, and then strangling the landlady, often followed by having sex with the dead body. Robbery was frequently a secondary motive. After Nelson was captured in Canada in 1927, it was commonly reported that he had killed 21 women and a baby during the 1926-27 period. But were these the only cases linked to him? The author examines an additional nine unsolved murders of landladies, two of which have never been dealt with in previous literature. Based on decades of archival research, the author examines all 31 murders, relying on primary sources when available and a wide variety of secondary sources. For each murder, the book provides biographical sketches of the victim, outlines the police investigation and the various suspects, and covers any subsequent attempts to link Nelson to the crime by identification evidence of witnesses or by fingerprints.
