Blood on Balthazar

About the book

HARRY BAUER IS NOT GOOD AT TURNING AROUND AND WALKING AWAY...

If he had chosen to visit Miami or the Caribbean, this unfortunate incident might never have occurred. Instead of enjoying a relaxing vacation like most people, sipping mojitos on the beach, he decided to travel to Maine, specifically the small village of Balthazar, to reflect on the direction of his life.

Perhaps he overlooked the warning signs. The unanticipated snowstorm from Canada, the kids' insistence on embarking on the risky March Mom March into the forest towards Stony Lake, and the subtle messages from Suzy's father, Ned, and the sheriff advising him to stay out of village affairs. Any of these clues could have indicated that Balthazar was not as it seemed, and maybe, just maybe, he should have turned around and walked away.

However, Harry Bauer's inability to retreat becomes evident when Suzy and Polly go missing in the forest during the snowstorm near the sawmill. Harry realizes he must take action, knowing that soon enough, there will be bloodshed in Balthazar...
