With a struggling newspaper, failed real estate ventures and a marina that is about to go belly up Starvation Lake is a Michigan town that doesn’t have much to cheer about these days. Perhaps that is why they make a legend of their most winning hockey coach, Coach Blackburn. Gus Carpenter had Blackburn as a coach and he'll never forget it, just like he'll never forget the goal he let in at the State Championship years ago. But when Coach Blackburn's long lost snowmobile washes up on the shores of the wrong lake many old mysteries float to the surface with it. The deeper Gus digs the more he’ll learn the past isn’t always the way we remember it. Gruley has hit the nail on the head and driven it home with perfect dialog and atmosphere that will give you the chills in this exciting debut.
