Whiskey Creek : Porter Cassel #3.

Hugelschaffer, Dave


Dave Hugelschaffer has spent eighteen years working in the forests of Alberta as a forest ranger, timber cruiser, firefighter, and land planner. Author of the Porter Cassel Mystery series, he currently lives near Edson, Alberta. The latest installment in Dave Hugelschaffer's innovative murder-mystery series sends forest fire forensics expert Porter Cassel to the isolated northern Alberta community of Fort Chipewyan, where an arsonist armed with Molotov cocktails has started a series of blazes. During his investigation the remains of a trapper are discovered in a burned-down cabin. The RCMP rule the death accidental, but Cassel isn't so sure. Complicating matters are unfriendly locals who don't take kindly to outsiders prying into their business. Once again, Cassel must act alone - surviving assassination attempts on both his character and his life - in order to get to the truth.

When forest fire forensics expert Porter Cassel is called in to help catch a serial arsonist who goes by the name “Lorax”, he must juggle his official investigation with a personal one: the Lorax’s modus operandi resembles that of a long-dormant ecoterrorist who planted the bomb that killed Cassel’s fianceé.
