The Apostle Islands Trilogy
Superior’s Jewel
Instead of living it, a 911 operator writes about murder. Not a bad way to go through life, if you think about it. In Superior’s Jewel, the first installment of the Apostle Islands Trilogy, Dimich tells the story of Kat LeNoir, a dauntless street sergeant with the Minneapolis Police Department who possesses courage and confidence until shooting a man to death in the line of duty. A second near-death encounter depletes her ability to serve the citizens or command her patrol any longer and emptied of life, fearful of failure, she resigns.
Returning home, Kat becomes immersed in the crosscurrents of the town’s first murder and a persistent homicide detective searching over two years for the killer of sixteen-year-old girls. It’s clear nothing will stand in the detective’s way of catching the crazed killer—especially a lady cop who couldn’t hack it.
Madeline’s Jewel
In this beautifully crafted tale of suspense and romance, Dimich tells the story of Michelle Callihan whose short abusive marriage stripped her of self-respect and nearly bankrupted her business. Eighteen months of hiding out in hard work and preserving the Apostle history, Michelle gradually learns how to cope with downfalls and defeat—until an uncompromising architect tries to change the island’s history.
Chained events turn wicked with the discovery of another ead sixteen-year-old girl and the return of Michelle’s violent ex-husband who is demanding a payoff from the divorce. As if the ongoing murders and an estranged family aren’t enough for Michelle, her buried fears ignite when police evidence points to her ex-husband as the serial killer—now he’s after her.
Jewel of the Apostles
Jewel of the Apostles is the gripping conclusion in the Madeline Island murders. In this spellbinding tale, Dimich draws the trilogy to a close with the story of Nicole Jarvis who discovers her own dreadful past is the key to a rash of serial killings that began over three years ago in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The ceremonious display of another dead sixteen-year-old in Nicole’s backyard has Police Chief Gage LeNoir furious. He is no further ahead than at the start of the killings. Furthermore, the facts in the case are now pointing to Nicole as the real target tagged for death by the serial killer. As the ongoing murders begin to unravel fourteen-year-old dark secrets between Gage and Nicole, Gage realizes the only way he can protect Nicole is to let her leave the island forever.
