Starvation Lake

Starvation Lake by Bryan Gruley is a great mystery.  He's a new author, local to Chicago, and if the rest of the series he's promising after this book is as good, he's going to be very popular.  He's very Harlan Coben/ Denis Lehane, but with Hockey, and I love Coben and Lehane.  Gus, the editor to the small Pilot newspaper in his home town after being forced to leave Detroit when his career suddenly collapses, isn't thrilled to be home with his old friends and family.  His old hockey coach apparently drown several years ago, but when his snow mobile is found in the wrong lake, Gus finds himself trying to figure out the secrets his entire town has been keeping for years.  It's really really good if you like murder mysteries.
