Newly appointed police chief Dexter Loomis suspects he's in over his head when murder strikes Higgins Point, Wisconsin. When the ex-engineer signed on for deputy duty, he never expected the murder of the mayor's daughter to land in his inexperienced lap. Luckily, he's got help from friend and state crime bureau detective Ann Summer, who's willing to teach the reticent new lawman the ropes...in exchange for a little help with a case of her own.
It seems the tiny resort town has a surprisingly seedy underbelly hiding drugs, dirty money and death. Could the tragic suicide of Ann's father in a lakeside cabin outside of town be connected to something more sinister? As the bucolic veneer of Higgins Point wears dangerously thin, Dexter and Ann zero in on a motive for murder...and a killer lying in wait.
This is #1 in A Dexter Loomis Mystery.

Means to an End A Dexter Loomis Mystery

Worldwide Library

A year after assuming the duties of 'interim Police Chief' for Higgins Point, semi-professional and fully resourceful lawman Dexter Loomis veers into another murder case when he determines that the car crash that took the life of an investigative reporter was no accident. Dexter swallows his manful pride and uses the case as an excuse to recruit the help of his old flame, DCI homicide investigator Ann Summer. Together they tiptoe around a federal investigation into local Indian gaming while sorting through leads pointing to a New Jersey crime figure, a world famous artist, and a twenty-year-old unsolved homicide. After several victims drop dead, all by similar means, Dexter begins to question the integrity of the local cuisine and realizes that sometimes poison can be food for thought.
