Why read it?

Figure Eight whisks you into the Northern Lakes region of Wisconsin, offering backwoods snapshots of landscapes rarely traveled by humans.

As an avid outdoorsman, Jeff Nania knows the Northern backwoods like a beloved family member, and he has created a novel that captured and held my attention with its vivid outdoor descriptions and engaging characters.

This is book one in the Northern Lakes Mysteries, and I’ve enjoyed the rest of Nania’s mysteries…
