Lake Effect

The first "Davecki" book I've read. Detective Alphonse "Dave" Davecki comes to life in all his lovable, rumpled glory. This is a laugh-out-loud book full of adventure and lots of motorcycle action. The beautiful depiction of Lake Superior made me want to be there observing the different moods of the Lake. Mike Savage is a master of description. He knows the Lake intimately and takes you there no matter where you live. I could almost smell the pine and poplar forests of northern Wisconsin where the FALSIES held their secret meetings. Full of suspense-filled pages you won't want to put down. The motorcycle ride across the Duluth aerial bridge to the airport is unforgettable. I can't wait to read the next Davecki book.

Savage draws in the reader with his loving description of Lake Superior and grabs him with an interesting and quirky plot. His protaganist, Dave Davecki, is a down to earth, funny, character for whom the reader feels an instant affinity. The only drawback is that when the book is finished you want more of Davecki. The upside is that there are three other books.
