Is the book I'm currently reading. Here's the story's outline:
It is winter in the remote, dark Wisconsin woods. But the chill in the local sheriff's bones has nothing to do with the weather. The extravagance of the crime is new to him: the murdered man, woman and child; the machete-like knife through the man's head; the ashes of the fire-consumed house spread over the ice and snow. In desperation, the sheriff turns for help to the reclusive lawman he'd heard had a cabin up here, and with reluctance Davenport agrees, but it is a decision he will soon have reason to regret. For this is a kind of criminal new to him, too.
As he sifts through the ashes of the case itself, other crimes, shocking to his carefully hardened shell, emerge, and it becomes clear that there is an evil in these woods, an evil at once alien to him and closer than he can imagine . . . and against which even his skills may not prevail.

Pete, I believe that Winter Prey is one of Sandford's earliest and best books. Do you think you may have read it before? Doesn't matter because I'm so tired of starting books by authors I don't like, I'm going to re-read more of my favorites. To be released this Fall:
Oct. 21 Michael Connelly - Two Kinds Of Truth - A Harry Bosch novel.
Nov. 7 Lee Childs - The Midnight Line

Pete he meets his future wife in this one and it is one of his better ones.
Sandy I've started a half dozen books in the last couple of months and have given up on them which is why I'm re-reading all of William Kent Krueger's books. He' doing a book signing & reading from his latest book tomorrow night in a town a few miles away from me. If I'm half alive after work tomorrow I think I'll go see him.

Sandy, yeah, after reading a few chapters I realized that I'd read this book before. But that's OK 'cause it was long enough ago that I don't recall details. So it's almost like reading it for the first time.
And in the past I've purposely chosen books I know I've read before but I waited years before I read those again. Stephen King's books are a good example. I've read most of his books 3 or 4 times, but those readings span 20 years or more.

Nancy, yeah, I was pleasantly surprised to note that in this story Lucas meets Weather for the first time. I believe it's in this story that she saves his life after he's been shot.
