Winter Over Lake

When the ice on Red Lake begins to fail earlier than it should, conservation officer Jack Calder knows something is wrong. The cracks spread fast. The measurements don't add up. And then a fisherman sees something beneath the ice - a shape that doesn't belong. What begins as a routine safety concern becomes a chilling discovery: a van submerged for decades, perfectly preserved in the cold dark water below.
Inside is more than a tragedy. It's a secret. As the lake gives up what it has held for thirty years, Calder is pulled into an investigation that reaches deep into the community itself - into old loyalties, buried corruption, and a silence maintained by fear and complicity. With every new piece of evidence, the past refuses to stay buried. And as the ice melts away, so does the truth - slowly, inevitably, and with consequences that will reshape everything the town thought it knew.
Winter Over Red Lake is a gripping, atmospheric crime novel about memory, justice, and the cost of silence - where the landscape itself becomes a witness, and the truth waits patiently beneath the surface.
