Readers say the characters set Wolf Lake apart from other thrillers because it features multi-layered characters readers care about
Let’s start with Deputy Thomas Shepherd. There’s more to his persona than meets the eye. As a child, he was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a developmental disorder on the autism spectrum. Like many people afflicted with Asperger’s, Thomas struggles with social interactions.
The first person the village blames for the murder is a notorious gang member named LeVar Hopkins. LeVar grew up in a broken home with a mother addicted to heroin. Witnesses see him driving along the lake on the night the body washes ashore, and the victim appears to have affiliations with a rival gang.
There’s also Thomas’s old girlfriend, Chelsey Byrd, who runs a private investigations firm in the village. Though she is the most ingenious PI in Upstate NY, she suffered from crippling depression during her teenage years. The fear that depression will strike her again haunts Chelsey. Her partner is Raven Hopkins, LeVar’s older sister. Though Raven doesn’t condone her brother joining a gang, she swears he isn’t a killer.
But the evidence points to LeVar as the number one suspect. Is he a murderer?
Then there’s Thomas’s neighbor, Scout Mourning, a teenager who lost her ability to walk after a near-fatal traffic collision. Trying to fill a void, Scout becomes obsessed with online sleuthing.
And when the headless corpse floats ashore, Scout is determined to catch the murderer. There’s only one problem.
The killer knows who she is.
