by Eloise Corvo

Overview

Stone's Throw State Park Ranger Maudy Lorso spends her days playing cards and sipping drinks with her millennial gal pals, hiking steep sand dunes with her scruffy dog, Martin Short, and trying to ignore the pain of a recent, devastating breakup. After building a quiet life in the Lake Michigan coastal village of Stone's Throw, Maudy's emotional safety net is turned inside out when her boss informs her of looming budget cuts that threaten to permanently close the park-and eliminate her job. Determined to prove the park's value, Maudy throws herself into organizing a successful campground opening weekend, just one week away. But when the body of a missing tourist is discovered in the park, her hope of saving Stone's Throw State Park quickly begins to fade. In order to save her dream job and maintain her quirky, quiet life, Maudy jumps in to solve the murder of the dead man.

About the Author

Eloise Corvo grew up in the suburbs of metro Detroit, eagerly awaiting trips to her family's "Up North" cabin near Traverse City, Michigan. It was there, on the shores of the countless lakes and dense forests, that she discovered her deep love for the natural world and nurtured a curiosity that still drives her today. This passion led her to Michigan State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Zoology with a focus on Marine Biology. While at MSU, she founded the MSU SCUBA Club (which immediately died after she graduated) and nearly adopted a baby turtle from an eccentric herpetology professor. She later completed a Master's degree in Marine Biology. Corvo now works as an environmental policy analyst by day and writes by night. She specializes in state and federal environmental law, helping to protect the landscapes she fell in love with as a child exploring Northern Michigan. Her heart remains in Traverse City, where she now lives full-time. To learn more about Eloise and her other publications, visit EloiseCorvo.com.
