Books by Patricia Skalka

In the wake of a brutal storm that lashed the Door County peninsula, Sheriff Dave Cubiak assesses the damage: broken windows, downed trees, and piles of mysterious debris along the shoreline. His assistant, marooned at the justice center overnight, calls with an ominous message about a body discovered on the beach.

On a bracing autumn day in Door County, a prominent philanthropist disappears. Is the elderly Gerald Sneider suffering from dementia, or just avoiding his greedy son? Is there a connection to threats against the National Football League? As tourists flood the peninsula for the fall colours, Sheriff Dave Cubiak's search for Sneider is stymied by the FBI.

After tracking a clever killer in Death Stalks Door County, park ranger and former Chicago homicide detective Dave Cubiak is elected Door County sheriff. His newest challenge arrives as spring brings not new life but tragic death to the isolated fishing village of Gills Rock. Death at Gills Rock is the second book in Patricia Skalka's Dave Cubiak Door County Mystery series.
