(Posted for Ann Roberts)
A frozen corpse is found in a snowdrift along a South Dakota
highway with the words “white out” carved in his arm. An unpopular supervisor at the local meat
processing plant, Dale Hansen has run afoul of several of the mostly immigrant
people that he supervises. He has an unhappy wife and angry step-daughter.
Enter Detective Mark Okerlund, a prodigal son returned home,
who is handed the case on his first day on the job. In spite of family baggage,
personal heartbreak, and dyslexia, Okerlund and his cousin Sheriff Karen
Mehaffey solve this page turner of a mystery.
I was drawn in by the second paragraph, and that’s what I like in a
book…and it was written by a colleague from the state archives. Way to go, Mary Kay!
Paperback, 335 p.
