Focused on Murder, A Spirit Lake Mystery

by Linda Townsdin

Overview

Britt Johansson is a former Pulitzer prize-winning LA Times photographer whose reckless behavior nearly ended her career. She gets a chance to redeem herself when she's working in Northern Minnesota and stumbles across an international crime ring that ultimately pits her and her brother against a psychopathic killer. Her hometown of Spirit Lake is a perfect location for all kinds of dirty deeds: easy entry points along the vast wilderness of the US/Canadian border, an Indian reservation that�s off limits to most law enforcement, and a dangerously mistaken perception that nothing happens in small towns.

Britt Johansson is a captivating amateur sleuth and Townsdin writes her story with a skill and insight that makes it hard to believe this is her first novel. I only hope there are more to come soon.�R. Franklin James, author of The Fallen Angels Book Club

An exciting read through the lens of a spunky and engaging protagonist, tough on the outside, with a fiery heart and cool sense of humor on the inside. Britt�s work as a photographer overseas steeled her to stand her ground in the face of enemies, but in this gripping novel she must also do battle with the good guys to bring into focus who is who to solve a shocking murder and other criminal acts, hidden in the snowy winter of Minnesota.�June Gillam, author of House of Cuts

Townsdin skillfully moves her action-packed story forward with escalating tension, holding me captive as a reader. Several of the main characters remain strong in my mind and I will enjoy following their adventures if a sequel presents itself.�Gail M Baugniet, author of the Pepper Bibeau mystery series
