The cliffhangers and unresolved issues in Who Are You? and The Ghost come to a head with sometimes deadly consequences in Avenging the Dead, the final installment of a Lake Superior Trilogy. Judge Robin Gildemeister's return to the North Shore creates a dilemma for Detective Lincoln Barnes when she learns the truth about the Kate Patterson murder, and she and Lake County Sheriff Sam MacDonald are confronted with new challenges from nefarious bankers, mysterious deaths on a Great Lakes cruise, and the evil machinations of a billionaire heiress. In the end, Barnes is desperate to avenge a handful of victims, but the price of justice may be too high.
