Pre-order the much-anticipated new mystery by Ron Corbett. https://www.ottawapressandpublishing.com/ MUSKIE FALLS is the fourth book in the Frank Yakabuski Mystery Series. Here’s what critics are saying about the series:

• “Like the first book, the writing in this one is sparse and lean, echoing the harshness and isolation of the land . . . Corbett lays a strong foundation for what promises to be a truly captivating series.” ~ Publishers Weekly, starred review on Cape Diamond

• “Ron Corbett’s second Frank Yakabuski book proves conclusively that this series has a long life ahead. We look forward to the next Yakabuski book.” ~ Globe and Mail review on Cape Diamond

• “Familiar ingredients rarely combined—a starkly etched natural setting, a gung-ho cop, a series of soulful flashbacks, a violent climax—are expertly blended and brought to a full rolling boil.” ~ Kirkus Reviews on Ragged Lake
